The Senior Planning Officer recommended approval.
The principle of the change of use of this former leisure club (D2) a previously developed site, to residential apartments is acceptable for this mixed use area close to the town centre of Workington.
No adverse impact on residential amenity to surrounding dwellings from the residential use in terms of noise nuisance or overlooking subject to appropriate noise insulation between flats and other properties to be secured by planning condition.
No off street parking is provided and there have been 50 letters of objection from nearby residents expressing concerns over further on street car parking.
As part of a wider council strategy for parking in Workington, the forward plan for Peter Street car park, which is adjacent to the proposed apartments, is to make it a long stay pay and display car park. This car park is currently free and is mostly used by residents in the area or town workers.
The potential residents of the new flats would have the ability to purchase parking permits to use in this car park.
Reserved bays are also subject to a charge but residents, depending on their car ownership, may not need it. If the resident does not renew the reserved bay they would lose it and this would then be sold on to somebody else.
Adequate space to provide bin storage in rear yard.
Members noted the representations received in respect of the application, the main grounds of which were set out in the report. Members also noted the additional consultations received since the preparation of the officer’s report which included the applicant’s supporting car park survey and the Council’s car parks records of car parking facilities in the locality and charging regime.
Councillor M Grainger moved that the application be approved as per the officer’s recommendation. This was seconded by Councillor T Annison.

An appropriate form of access and egress from the site can be achieved.
The applicant is proposing 4 units will be affordable Low Cost Units in line with Policy S8 of the Allerdale Local Plan (part 1), Adopted July 2014.
Officers are satisfied that the proposed development would achieve an acceptable form of private amenity space for each dwelling and the proximity of the village hall would not unduly impact on the amenity of the proposed occupiers.
The Senior Planning Officer advised members that additional publicity was required to be undertaken in accordance with Article 15 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015. As such, members were advised that the determination of the application be delegated to officers upon the expiration of the publicity period, the recommendation still being to refuse as per the officer’s report.

Councillor N Cockburn moved that the application be refused as per the officer’s recommendation. This was seconded by Councillor R Munby.
A vote was taken on the motion. 8 voted in favour of refusal, 2 against. The motion was carried.
That, in the event of no new considerations being raised during the publicity period not already considered in the officer’s report, the decision to refuse the application be delegated to officers upon the expiration of the publicity period, the reasons for refusal being:
The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed dwellings would constitutes an inappropriate non-essential form of residential development in the open countryside and would therefore be contrary to the provisions of Policy S3 and S5 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted July 2014 and paragraph 17 the principles and paragraph 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
The Local Planning Authority considers the scale and layout of the development site does not respond positively to the character, history and distinctiveness of the rural landscape in which it lies.
