BV109b (percentage of applications for minor developments determined
within 8 weeks) and BV109c (percentage of other planning applications
determined within 8 weeks). The measure for BV109a (percentage of
applications for major developments determined within 13 weeks) had
recorded 57%, being just under the national target of 60%. It was
advised that this was always likely to fluctuate in accordance with the
number of applications which were received at any one time, given the
amount of work which was required to be done on these larger
applications.
Members noted the information on enforcement matters and appeals,
which reflected the continued high level of work required in this section.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.

archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation,
including a timetable for the investigation, which has been submitted to and
approved in writing by the local planning authority and the works shall be
undertaken in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: The development is likely to disturb features of archaeological
interest, which need to be examined and recorded in accordance with Policy

Mcintyre Developments Ltd
Statutory 8 week date: 28 November 2007
DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) DELEGATED (SUBJECT TO EXPIRY
OF CONSULTATION PERIOD)
1.
The proposed development, by reason of its isolated location beyond the rear
building line of neighbouring properties, will appear as an incongruous and
prominent development out of character with the locality and thereby failing to
preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Battle Conservation
Area. As such the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Policy GD1(viii) of
the Rother District Local Plan, Policy EN23 of the East Sussex and Brighton &
Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Section 72 of the Act.

BEXHILL 290 COODEN DRIVE
FORMATION OF NEW DRIVEWAY TO PROVIDE IN/OUT

S Kemp
Statutory 8 week date: 16 November 2007
DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)
1.
The proposed additional vehicular access would introduce additional hazards
on the B2182 Cooden Drive by reason of the additional slowing, stopping and
turning traffic at this point. It is a further concern that reversing movements
may also be introduced as a result of insufficient available driveway width in
front of the property for two vehicles to pass. The proposal is therefore
considered to be contrary to Policy GD1(iii) of the Rother District Local Plan
and Policies S1(d) and TR3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure
Plan 1991-2011.

Statutory 8 week date: 12 November 2007
DECISION: GRANT (FULL PLANNING)
1.
CD1A (Time limit for commencement)
2.
Development shall not commence until a scheme for on site car parking has
been submitted to and approved in writing with the local planning authority
which shall incorporate appropriate landscaping and barrier treatment to the
boundaries with 16-26 Eastwood Road (pursuant to Conditions 3 and 4) and in
this respect the parking layout shown on Drawing 1918:115 is not approved.
Reason: To provide an appropriate level of on site parking to serve the
development compatible with the need to limit the direct impact of cars and
disturbance on the adjoining residents in accordance with Policy GD1(ii) of the
Rother District Local Plan.
3.
No development shall take place until the hard landscaping scheme has been
submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority and these
works shall be carried out only as approved. These details shall include:
a.
all new means of enclosure
b
all hard surfacing materials
c.
minor artefacts and structures (eg. refuse or other storage units, signs,
lighting etc.)
Reason: To ensure that the proposed development does not prejudice the
appearance of the locality in accordance with Policy GD1(ii)(iv) of the Rother
District Local Plan and Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove
Structure Plan 1991-2011.
4.
No development shall take place on site nor any demolition works take place
until the soft landscaping details for the whole site have been submitted to and
approved by the local planning authority, which shall include:
a.
indications of all existing trees on the land including details of those to
be retained, together with measures for their protection in the course of
development

Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.
CD4D (Landscape works implementation).
No development shall take place until samples of the materials to be used in
the construction of the external surfaces of the buildings hereby permitted
have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure that the development takes account of the character and
appearance of the locality in accordance with Policies GD1(iv)(v) of the Rother
District Local Plan.
CD6B (Drainage). Insert: foul and surface water.
CD7T (Bin/recycling enclosures). Insert: occupation of the buildings.
Other than as may be agreed pursuant to Condition 3 no external lighting shall
be provided on the site without a further planning permission.
Reason: To safeguard the amenities of adjoining residents in accordance with
Policy GD1(ii) of the Rother District Local Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Use
Classes) Order 1987 (as subsequently amended) or in any statutory
instrument revoking, re-enacting or amending that Order, the development
hereby permitted shall be used only as specified in the application and shall be
occupied only by adults with learning difficulties and by no more than 12 such
persons at any one time.
Reason: The scheme as proposed has been considered on its specific merits
and is considered appropriate for the site having regard to Policy GD1(ii)(iii)(iv)
of the Rother District Local Plan. The local planning authority would need to
specifically assess any alternative care or residential use based on its
particular characteristics.
CD12G (Contaminated land).
REASONS FOR GRANTING PERMISSION: The proposal makes a positive re-use
of an industrial site which has been vacant for about two years. Although the scheme
involves losing industrial premises the use proposed includes an element of
employment. Given the constraints of the site – in terms of its narrow access and
being surrounded by residential properties – for full scale commercial use, the
intended residential use is considered acceptable having regard to Policies EM2 and
GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan.

DECISION:
REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)
DELEGATED
(EXPIRY OF

1.
Notwithstanding the changes made from the previous refused scheme –
RR/2006/3453/P – the provision of houses to the rear of the site would be out
of character with the lower scale development to the east, to which this site
primarily relates and, as a result, would have a poor relationship with
surrounding properties. Consequently the scheme by reason of its scale and
number of two storey dwellings would be detrimental to the outlook and
amenity of adjoining residents contrary to Policy GD1(ii)(iv) of the Rother
District Local Plan.

DECISION:
REFUSE
(FULL PLANNING)
DELEGATED
(EXPIRY OF
CONSULTATION PERIOD)
1.
The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where
Policies S1(j) and EN2 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan
1991-2011 and Policy GD1(v) of the Rother District Local Plan indicate that
development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area.
This is consistent with Government planning policy set out in PPS7 which
states that in nationally designated areas, the conservation of the natural
beauty of the landscape and countryside should be given great weight in
planning policies and development control decisions (para 2.1). In addition,
within such areas, in accordance with Sections 5, 11 and 88 of the National
Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, the conservation and
enhancement of natural beauty is the prime objective. Notwithstanding
proposed lowering of ground levels and additional hedge/tree screen planting,
it is considered that the proposal does not meet this criteria and it would have
a harmful effect on the rural character of the area.

UNDER PLANNING PERMISSION RR/2006/1806/P
Mr P Osborne
Statutory 8 week date: 12 October 2007
DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)
1.
The proposed access would result in an undesirable incursion through and
loss of part of a mature hedgerow/tree belt that contributes to the
attractiveness of this rural location. The loss of this vegetation and the creation
of an open gap with hard surfacing would be detrimental to the character and
the appearance of the landscape and High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. For these reasons the development would be contrary to Policy
GD1(iv)(v) of the Rother District Local Plan and Policies S1(b)(f)(j) and EN2 of
the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.
2.
The relocation of the garage would prevent access and egress of the site via
the new access permitted by planning permission RR/2006/645/P which was
granted to enable the closure of the established entrance near the busy road
junction. The proposal would create the need for an additional access contrary
to the policies for protecting the countryside and the character of the area as
set out in Policy GD1(iv)(v) of the Rother District Local Plan and Policies
S1(b)(f)(j) and EN2 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan
1991-2011.

Statutory 13 week date: 15 November 2007
DECISION:
REFUSE
(OUTLINE PLANNING) DELEGATED (FURTHER
COMMENTS FROM ENVIRONMENT AGENCY)
1.
On the basis of current housing land availability data there is no requirement
for the early release of this site which is identified as a reserve site in Policy
DS6(iv) of the Rother District Local Plan. To grant permission at this time
would be premature and contrary to the local planning authority's aim of both,
making first and best use of other allocated sites and mainly "brownfield" sites,
and to encourage and secure a phased release of all housing sites so that
25
2.
reserve "greenfield" sites are brought forward only when necessary to meet
the requirements of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan and
PPS3: Housing.
Although this is an outline planning application it is not possible for the local
planning authority to determine whether a scheme of 135 dwellings is an
acceptable form of development in the absence of a full and proven drainage
strategy. The site and surrounding properties regularly experience problems
arising from surface water run-off and the development of this site will require
a comprehensive approach to surface water drainage. At this stage the
submitted information is insufficient for the drainage authorities or the local
planning authority to determine whether and how the site can be properly
drained. As such the proposal does not comply with Policy GD1(x) of the
Rother District Local Plan.
