BH2021/02014

Additional Note on Access relating to 9.27 and 9.28 of the Report

As set out within the report, level access to the site would be via the existing Davigdor Road site entrance, which would include a new segregated 1.2m pedestrian footpath. This would provide level access to the south of the building and onto the building entrances, cycle store and bin store. Internally, a lift would serve all floors (including the first floor wheelchair accessible units) with dimensions indicated to meet Part M of the Building Regulations. Disabled parking is proposed and indicated to serve the proposed accessible units and office space (see 9.67 of the report on Vehicle Parking). Details of disabled parking facilities are required by condition.

 

Two further letters of representation from Councillor John Allcock and Councillor Jackie O’Quinn objecting to the application.

 

Copies of their representations are attached to the Additional Representations List.

 

Officer Response:

The issues raised in the additional objections are addressed in the officer report.

South Downs National Park Authority Final comments:

 

No objections - Overall concerns raised in previous SDNP responses have been taken account of and addressed:

·         It has been confirmed that the application site does not include land within the National Park.

·         Viewpoints have been assessed and conclude that landscape and visual impact would not be significant as agreed by the County Landscape Architect.

·         Linear arrangements of new tree planting have been amended to be more informal.

·         The clubhouse glazing will have darkened glass and a canopy to minimise upward glare. The wider site will have minimal low level external lighting.

·         County Ecologist satisfied that no increased light spill towards adjacent Local Wildlife Site (LWS).

 

Officer response: The scheme amendments have addressed the SDNP concerns which is welcomed.

 

Highway Authority: Final comments:

 

·         Access to and around the clubhouse for mobility and visually impaired acceptable.

·         Seek improvements to bridleway for users and post construction following pre-construction survey.

·         Seek amendments to group of 6 informal parking spaces layout for safety reasons. Could be conditioned. Tandem parking acceptable with stewarding and could accommodate minibuses.

·         Refuse collection and deliveries and servicing arrangements acceptable.

·         Disabled bays acceptable. Cycle parking to south potentially isolated.

 

Officer response:

In response to the final comments from the Highway Authority, the applicants have confirmed that the bridleway is in private ownership and, as stated in the report, it is outside of the application red line boundary. The owner has legal responsibility for its maintenance. It would be unreasonable and disproportionate to require the club to make improvements to an asset which they have no control over and which is used by a number of public interests. The considerations in the report (para 9.50) still hold.

Conditions 15 and 18 would address the comments regarding the informal parking layouts and safety. 

 

Environmental Protection: No objections:
