O/16/01785/FUL - Land On The North Side Of Shopwhyke Road Shopwhyke pdf icon PDF 420 KB

Removal of conditions 9 and 11 from planning permission O/11/05283/OUT which require the closure of the Oving Traffic  Lights and to retain the junction as it currently functions.

Decision:

Refuse

Minutes:

Mr Bushell reminded members of the Secretary of State’s decision to direct an indefinite non-approval of the planning application to retain the traffic controlled junction at the A27 and Oving Road crossroads functioning as it currently does.  He referred to the Committee’s previous decision at its meeting held on 11 January 2017 to defer making a decision on the application for a period of 12 months or until the Government announcement on the A27 preferred route if before that date.  He explained that the officer recommendation to refuse remained the same and this was due to the severe adverse impact to the A27 that would result from the removal of conditions 9 (A27 Oving crossroads Interim Measures) and 11 (A27 Oving Crossroads Full Measures) for planning application reference O/11/05283/OUT.

 

The following information was reported on the agenda update sheet relating to the receipt of two additional third party objections.

 

The following members of the public addressed the Committee:

 

-       Mrs L Smith – Supporter; and

-       Mr S Schuyleman - Agent

 

Officers replied to members’ questions and comments, as well as providing advice on the determination of the application:

 

Mr Bushell explained the proposals for the B class categorised spine road in more detail and advised that this road would be 7m wide and designed to take a higher level of traffic.   The proposal to direct people travelling in their vehicles through the Spine road would not cut people or communities off, but would result in changed patterns of behaviour.  Officers and the Highways Authority were satisfied that the Spine road would be engineered to the required standards to enable free flow of traffic.    The concern with removing conditions 9 and 11 was that it would result in a long period of uncertainty both for the developer and local residents about what would happen to the traffic lights as there was potentially a five year period before the point where the Shopwyke Lakes development at its current build rate would trigger the necessary first changes to the junction.  He referred to the pre-preparation work required as part of the lead in period to the junction changes which the Committee should bear in mind when making their decision.

 

Mr Frost advised that since the Committee’s previous resolution on this matter nothing had changed in terms of the evidence the applicant was required to submit.   It was acknowledged that the evidence would require the recruitment of specialist consultants which would be costly to provide and the applicant had indicated that it was unlikely that they would be able to.  Because the applicant for the Shopwyke Lakes development proposed a new junction on the north side of the development to the A27, Highways England expected that in order to permit that new junction a quid pro quo was required, i.e. another junction to be closed so there was no adverse impact (on safety primarily).  Highways England was opposed, in principle, to additional accesses on the A27 unless there were very good economic or  ...  view the full minutes text for item 179.
