Consultation Responses. As would be expected for an application of this magnitude, significant statutory and non-statutory consultations have been undertaken with an extensive range of public and private bodies, the results of which are summarised below, with samples of the responses provided as Appendices to the report. Members should note that in the majority of cases, most consultee’s have responded by one letter to both applications. As a consequence the letters of response are reported in detail in respect of both this application and that application relating to the ABP, even though elements of the responses may not be relevant to both applications.
1. The noise disturbance from the new range and field training area at Picketston (does not apply to 2009/00501/OUT)
2. Increased traffic using the Cowbridge to St Athan Road
3. Increased demand on local amenities
4. The environmental impact which will irrevocably change this part of rural Wales A copy of their representations are provided in full at Appendix 1. The Council resolved to support the planning application for the Defence Training College. The Council appreciated the efforts made by Metrix and the developers of the scheme to involve the local community in the build up to the planning submission and are pleased that the major concerns the Community Council had about the closure of Eglwys Brewis Road, the impact of housing on the golf course and the availability of community and sports facilities for the local community appear to have been addressed. However there are still issues where the Community Council would wish improvements to be made to the scheme The response is provided in full at Appendix 2, but the key issues raised are summarised as follows: - The Community Council urge the Vale of Glamorgan Council to continue to press the Welsh Assembly Government for the completion of the Airport Access Road link to Junction 34 of the M4…benefit the DTC development and reduce the … problems of rat running through the local villages particularly from the A48 to the college. The Community Council expects to see a planning condition restricting construction traffic through St Athan village.

Consultation Responses. 3.1 The Council’s Legal Department have stated that the planning condition by itself is adequate, with the Section 52 appearing too restrictive.
Consultation Responses. The request to vary the S.106 has not been the subject of any consultation. The need for consultation with parties beyond the applicant and Metropolitan Police is unnecessary. Consultation with the Environment Agency and with local residents will be undertaken in association with the planning application/approval of details application that will follow the variation of the S.106 agreement to fund the works.
Consultation Responses. Following site and press notices, and notification of surrounding residents, at the time of writing this report 287 letters of comment had been received. All but three of the representations received expressed concerns/reservations against the proposals. The concerns expressed have been addressed where relevant in the corresponding sections of this report (above). In particular, the appraisal has noted the following issues. • The loss of open space has been addressed under section 1 and 5 of the above appraisal. Some residents have expressed that the proposal would result in a 10% loss of open space on the site which would be against the policies of the Council contained within the Harrow Unitary Development Plan and the Harrow Core Strategy. The report above notes that there would be no increase in building footprint on the site, but acknowledges that formal hard and soft play space within the site would reduce, alongside the development of the buildings on space explicitly identified in the development plan. The appraisal above acknowledges that the purpose of the planning system is often to strike and acceptable balance between conflicting interests and policy objectives. In this case, the loss of the playing field which is designated as opens space must be weighed against other policy objectives of the development plan. As outlined, there are considered to be material planning considerations that justify allowing the development on open space. . • The impacts on character and appearance have been addressed under section 2 of the above appraisal. • Comments relating to reduced values of properties abutting the field and compensation are not a material planning considerations which should determine the outcome of the application. • The impacts on residential amenity have considered under section 3 of the above appraisal. • In terms of quality of life, planning policies are aimed geared towards improving quality of life for local communities and in achieving an acceptable balance between conflicting view and opinions. Whilst it is acknowledged that the proposed development would result in a significant change for some local residents in terms of the visual amenity, it is considered that the proposal would not be out of place within the suburban context and through mitigation measures would not result in any unreasonable impacts that would warrant refusal of the application. The expanded school and high quality educational facilities will generate local an...
Consultation Responses. Site is on a busy corner. The addition of 10 flats will increase the traffic problems; 11 Car parking spaces are not sufficient as each flat will have two cars; Proposal would result in overspill parking on already congested neighbouring roads; Access for residents must be maintained during construction; Development should have access onto Headstone Lane not Fernleigh Court – these issues have been addressed in the Traffic and Parking Section of the appraisal Design is clever, but needs to be scaled back; Building is too high and should be a normal two-storey building the same height as Xxxxx Court; No indication of proposed materials – these issues have been addressed in the character and appearance of the area section of the appraisal Density of the building is too high and not compatible with Metroland plan aspiration – this issue has been addressed in the Principle of Development and Housing Provision sections of the appraisal
