REASONS FOR GRANTING APPROVAL:

The decision to grant approval has taken account of the Development Plan, consisting of the Regional Planning Guidance (RPG10) for the South West, (now the Regional Spatial Strategy), the Joint Replacement Structure Plan and the Somerset County Development Plan 1972. The adopted Local Plan has little material weight as it is now out-of-date. Up-to-date Local Plan policies are set out in the 1995 deposit Wansdyke Local Plan and the 2003 revised deposit draft Bath & North East Somerset Local Plan, both of which have been approved for development control purposes.

The proposal is in accordance with the Development Plan policies set out below:

The proposal complies with Policies VIS1, VIS2, HO5 and HO6 of RPG10, Policy 1, 2, 34 and 35 of the Joint Replacement Structure Plan , policies REC.4, REC.8, HO.2 and HO.4 in the Wansdyke Local Plan and HG.2, HG.4, HG 7 and 7A, HG.8 and SR.3 of the revised deposit draft district wide Local Plan in that it would result in the re-use of previously developed land at an appropriately high density for new housing of a mix and type which meets local need.

The proposal complies with Policy EC3 of RPG10, Policy 30 of the Joint Replacement Structure Plan, policy EMP.7 in the Wansdyke Local Plan and ET.1D of the revised deposit draft district wide Local Plan in that it would result in a comprehensive mixed use redevelopment of the site which includes employment development. The proposal would comply with Policy EMP.6 in the Wansdyke Local Plan and GDS1/NR4 in the revised deposit draft Local Plan in that it would appropriately address the identified site specific development requirements.

The proposal would comply with policies TRAN10 of RPG10, policy 59 of the JRSP, policies TP.1 and TP.18 in the Wansdyke Local Plan and T.1, T.24, T.25 and T.26 of the revised deposit draft District Wide Local Plan in that it would not have an adverse impact on traffic and would suitably encourage and make provision for the use of other modes of travel than the private car.

The proposal complies with policies VIS2 and ENV4 of RPG10, policies 17 and 19 of the Joint Replacement Structure Plan, policies GEN02, LNC1 and LNC4 of the Wansdyke Local Plan and D1, D2, D4, NE.1 and NE.4 of the revised Deposit Draft Local Plan in that the design and landscape impact of the proposal would not be detrimental to the setting and character of the area. The proposal complies with policies D2, ES12 and GDS1/NR4 of the revised deposit draft Local Plan in that it would not adversely affect the amenities of adjoining residential properties.

The proposal complies with policy 18 of the Joint Replacement Structure Plan, policy LNc.10 of the Wansdyke Local Plan and NE.10, NE.11 and NE.15 of the revised Deposit Draft Local Plan in that the proposals would both sufficiently protect and where necessary mitigate against the loss of, the parts of the site which are ecologically important.
