Amenity




Policy DES7 states that all new development will be required to provide potential users with a satisfactory level of amenity. Development will not be permitted where it would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of the occupiers or users of other developments.

The nearest residential properties to the proposed substation are located over 90m away in Building C. Due to the 24hour environment required by Mediacity, these apartments have been fully insulated against the potential for noise from the public plaza area. It is not therefore considered that the substation or GMPTE office would give rise to any issues of amenity.


To protect users of the Metrolink from adverse weather four full height glass screens are proposed to be provided on each concourse. These would be located between structural bays 1-2, 2-3, 5-6 and 6-7.

Design and Crime

Policy DES10 development will not be permitted unless it is designed to discourage crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime.


A number of additional security measures are proposed to be put in place in addition to the site wide security for public safety and the prevention of crime. These include the following:

  1. CCTV – the Metrolink Concourses and Canopies would be covered by CCTV, monitored through the site wide control room and GMPTE control room.

  2. The openness of the canopies – the canopies are open on all sides to discourage criminal and antisocial behaviour.

  3. Hand rails along the southern platform edge to minimise the risk of platform falls

  4. Emergency and telephone call points on each platform.

A concern has been raised regarding the potential for the flat roofs of the GMPTE building and the substation to be used for climbing on during large capacity events in the piazza. Whilst crowd management at such events would be subject to separate licensing requirements, confirmation has been received by the architects that the roofs of the buildings could withstand the weight if someone where to climb on them.


CONCLUSION
The development of Media City as a mixed-use development was established with the granting of the outline permission in 2006. These facilities in association with the Metrolink are considered essential pieces of infrastructure to the wider development site. It is considered that all elements would complement the wider design principles of the Mediacity development site and ensure long term quality.


RECOMMENDATION:
Approve, subject to conditions
1. The development shall be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission.
2. Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, samples and details of the materials for the GMPTE Welfare Office, Substation and Canopies of the development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be carried out using the approved materials, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
3. A Remediation Verification Report shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. The Verification Report shall validate that all remedial works undertaken on site were completed in accordance with those agreed by the LPA.
Reasons:
1. Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
2. To safeguard the amenity of the area in accordance with policy DES 1 of the City of Salford Unitary Development Plan.
3. In the interests of public safety in accordance with policy EN16 of the City of Salford Unitary Development Plan


APPLICATION No: 09/57428/FUL
APPLICANT: I.lands Limited
LOCATION: 9 Park Road Worsley M28 7DU
PROPOSAL: Erection of a three storey building comprising of ten apartments together with basement car parking (Resubmission of planning application 08/5711/FUL)
WARD: Walkden South


Description of Site and Surroundings


The site to which the application relates is located on Park Road in Worsley.
The site stands opposite Parr Fold Park to the south, and is the end property on Park Road. The dwellings along this part of Park Road are a mixture of large detached and semi-detached properties. To the immediate west is number 11 Park Road.
To the north of the site is a disused railway line and an embankment which is heavily wooded. There is also a relatively large area of woodland to the east of the site.
The site is within 250 metres of Walkden Train Station and Walkden Road.
The dwelling which currently stands on the site is a two storey detached dwelling of brick and pebbledash construction. The property is currently vacant and has fallen into a state of disrepair. Due to the levels of the site the rear of the dwelling is three storeys. There are three small extensions, one to the side and two elevated extensions to the rear supported by brick columns. The dwelling stands in a generous curtilage and currently has a garage at the end of the driveway to the side and rear of the dwelling.
Description of Proposal

The proposal involves the demolition of the existing dwelling and garage and the erection of a two/three storey apartment block comprising ten apartments.


The proposed building is to be two storeys to the front with habitable space in the roof lowering to three storeys to the rear with the car park being accommodated in the lower ground floor.
The main entrance to the building would be on the front elevation at ground floor and would be set into the building to provide a covered area. Habitable room windows are located within the front and rear elevations and also within the north-east elevation facing the railway embankment. There are dormer windows within the front and rear roof planes and roof lights within the side roofplanes. The design incorporates two full height bays to the rear elevation and one half bay to the front. There is a circular turret to the north-eastern corner of the building.
The lower ground floor of the building would accommodate the car parking area comprising of 10 car parking spaces, one of which being for use by a disabled driver. There is also a cycle parking area within the car park Access to the car park would be via the rear of the building via a ramp along the south-west elevation facing 11 Park Road. The car parking area would not be visible from Park Road as it is sub-terrain however due to the change in levels of the land from the front to the back of the site, the car park gates would be visible from the rear garden area. The ramp along the side of the building lowers to the garden level and therefore only the highest part toward the front of the building would be visible from Park Road and the adjacent dwelling.
Pedestrian access is taken from the lower ground level through the car park. The stairwell and lift from the upper floors exit into the car park.
The units within the development comprise of seven 2-bed units, one 3-bed unit and two 4-bed units. The range of the size of the units are all between 62 and 110 m2.
There is a mature lime tree to the front of the site. This tree and the others along the north-eastern boundary of the site are protected by a Tree Preservation Order.
In support of the proposals the applicant has submitted additional documents including: a Foul Sewerage Assessment, United Utilities comments, Utilities Statement, Noise Impact Statement, Sustainability Checklists, Crime Impact Statement, Bat Survey, Tree Survey, Transport Statement and a Planning Statement.
