32/09 Consideration was given to a report on an application that sought full planning permission for a range of new buildings to replace old and/or temporary structures across the three school sites (Nursery, Preparatory School and the Friarage Senior School).
Associated with the application, Listed Building Consent (LBC) had been sought for alterations to the Friarage (Grade II) and realignment of a wall.
Supporting the application was a Design and Access Statement, Flood Risk Assessment, Conservation Area Appraisal, Arboricultural Implication Assessment, Habitat Survey, Landscaping Proposals, Transport statement, Site Investigation Report, Sustainability Report and Public Consultation Report.
It was outlined that Yarm School was an Independent School founded in 1978 on the site of the former Yarm Grammar School. The school subsequently expanded onto the Friarage site across the road in 1980 and operated from four separate sites. The Friarage (Senior School) and Grammar School Lane (Preparatory School with a Nursery at The White House acquired in 2003), with playing pitches some distance away at Green Lane and Aislaby Road. A Site Location Plan was attached to the report.
The proposal was to redevelop certain elements of all three sites The Nursery, The Preparatory School and the Friarage Senior School site. The development proposals and the currents site layout were attached to the report.
The proposal for the Nursery site involved demolishing The Downs property which at the time of this meeting served no educational purpose, enabling the school to then use this land to reorganise Nursery operations. This would then enable sufficient space to allow all of the early years pupils to be housed on the same site (a proportion used facilities on the preparatory School site). The new development would be connected to the existing White House, creating new teaching rooms and secure external recreational space.
In respect of the Preparatory School the works involved the removal of temporary classrooms to provide external teaching environment, a small extension to Block A and provision of a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and two full sized netball courts on the adjacent playing fields.
The Friarage proposals involved the construction of new accommodation as part of the wider reorganisation of the site including the removal of a number of old and/temporary classrooms to provide the location for a new theatre and ancillary buildings.
Accesses to the sites were directly from the principal A67, The Spital or Yarm High Street. Access arrangements to the Friarage site were a two-way entrance (off peak) from The Spital and a one-way (inbound) access from Yarm High Street. The Preparatory School site was accessed along Grammar school Lane which had a priority junction with The Spital to the south of the Friarage access.
It was noted that the applicant had undertaken consultation in accordance with the adopted Statement of Community Involvement. This involved a range of activities including meeting with statutory consultees and local stakeholders and residents.
Local residents/businesses had been individually notified of the application and it had also been advertised on site and in the local press. The Consultees that had been notified and their comments received were summarised below within the report.
Neighbours were notified and the comments received were also summarised within the report.
118 letters of support and 3 letters with comments had been received. The support issues and comments were detailed within the report.
With regard planning policy, where an adopted or approved development plan contained relevant policies, Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 required that an application for planning permissions shall be determined in accordance with the Development Plan(s) for the area, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In this case the relevant Development Plans was the Stockton on Tees Local Plan (STLP), Tees Valley Structure Plan (TVSP) and the Regional Spatial Strategy (RRS).
The following planning policies were considered to be relevant to the consideration of the application:-
Policy EN24
Policy EN25
Policy EN26
Policy EN28
Policy EN30
National policy and other Local policy and Guidance that was considered was:-
Planning Policy Guidance Note 13: Transport
The main material planning considerations of the application related to whether it satisfied the requirements of National and Regional Guidance and Local Plan Policies, the impact on the listed building and character of the conservation area, the impact of the proposed development on the locality in terms of residential amenity, flood risk, ecology and nature conservation, vehicular access and traffic impact and highway safety.
An update report was distributed for Members that included a consultation response from Yarm Town Council, information relating to the recommended conditions and site plans for phases 1 - 5. The recommendations of the main report remained unchanged.
Members considered that the development had the necessary design quality for the prominent site and would have a satisfactory relationship to the surrounding area. It was not considered that the development would adversely affect the character of the conservation area or the setting of the listed building. Overall the nature and scale of the development was acceptable and it was considered that the site could satisfactorily accommodate the proposal without any undue impact on ecological habitat and flooding. The proposed access and highway arrangements satisfied the requirements of Head of Technical Services and the proposal was in accordance with relevant planning policy and guidance.
33/09 Consideration was given to a report on an application that sought outline planning permission for a mixed-use development on the Northshore development site, Stockton on Tees. The application was in outline with all matters reserved for subsequent approval.
The application was to establish the principle of the development. In view of the scale of the proposal and the location of the development, an Environmental Statement (ES) had been submitted with the application together with a Planning Statement, Design and Access Statement, Statement of Community Involvement, Transport Assessment, Travel Plan Framework and Flood Risk Assessment.
The proposal was to develop the 23 hectare site for the following principal land uses, residential, business park, hotel accommodation, ancillary leisure and retail facilities, health care facility, car dealership, recreational uses with car parking and associated landscaping and infrastructure improvements as part of a comprehensive mixed use development.
The main material planning considerations of the application related to the impact of the proposed development on the locality in terms of vehicular access and traffic impact and highway safety, flood risk, ecology and nature conservation and whether it satisfied the requirements of National and Regional Guidance and Local Plan Policies.
It was outlined two linked applications submitted by English Partnerships relating to the reclamation and future development of the North Bank area of the Tees opposite the Teesdale area and located between the Princess Diana Bridge and the David Lloyd Tennis Centre were approved in June 2002. The two applications were:-
Application 01/1790/P - outline application for mixed use development comprising of research park/offices (B1), caf�/pub/restaurant, residential, car showroom and associated roads, footpaths, cycleways, landscaping and riverside promenade;
Application 01/1760/P - reclamation and infrastructure works to allow implementation of the north bank scheme. The application incorporated and built upon the previous permission (99/1716/P) approved 10 December 1999 for the proposed site roads including a pedestrian bridge over the River Tees linking the site to Teesdale adjacent to the University.
The lead on the development moved to Tees Valley Regeneration in association with English Partnerships (the primary land owner and original applicant), One North East and Stockton on Tees Borough Council. A revised Master Plan was produced following an extensive re-appraisal of the original plan and agreed by the Planning Committee in February 2005. The "Benoy" Masterplan changed the focus of the plan from mainly office B1 development to increase the mix of development with more housing and seeking to make better use of the waterfront location and links to the Town Centre. The name of the site also changed to "North Shore" to reflect its name in the 19th Century. The new North Shore Master Plan also extended the area to include land in the town centre on Church Road and known as the Eastern Gateway site.
An application for planning permission under Section 73 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, to vary the original outline application (01/1790/P) to allow an additional three years for the submission of detailed plans was granted on 22nd August 2006. The period allowed for the submission of reserved matters relating to that outline was thereby extended to August 2008.
The Benoy Masterplan included areas of land that fell outside the boundary of the outline planning application, namely the Eastern Gateway site and 4 terraced houses at 111-117 Church Road. Accordingly, to ensure a comprehensive development an outline application (06/1956/OUT) was submitted in June 2006 for a mixed use development on the Eastern Gateway site and a multi-storey car park on the site on Church Road.
Planning permission was granted in June 2006 for the erection of a footbridge, providing a link over the River Tees between Northshore and Teesdale and the University of Durham's Queens Campus (06/0670/FUL).
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) had been prepared on behalf of the applicant to accompany the outline application. The Environmental Statement (ES) had regard to the following environmental considerations to identify and the means by which significant adverse effects would be remedied. The findings of the ES were summarised within the report.
The Transport Assessment assessed worst-case scenario in transportation terms. This had been quantified by the transportation consultants as the following form of development, namely the highest level of traffic generation that can occur within the constraints of the floorspace caps for both individual uses and the whole development. The applicant stated that this was not the most likely form of development, rather it was the worst case, in transportation terms.
It was noted that the applicant had undertaken consultation in accordance with the adopted Statement of Community Involvement. This involved a range of activities including meeting with statutory consultees and local stakeholders and residents, a public exhibition held in Stockton Central Library, a leaflet to over 200 local businesses and residents within the vicinity of the site and media articles.
Local residents/businesses had been individually notified of the application and it had also been advertised on site and in the local press. The consultees that had been notified and the comments that had been received were detailed within the report.
In respect of housing, the Tees Valley Structure Plan reflected national and regional guidance. The strategy adopted in the Tees Valley Structure Plan was one of sustainable urban growth with the majority of new development taking place on previously developed land within urban areas or along public transport corridors on the edge of the main built-up areas. The Structure Plan also supported the need for increased residential densities and the provision of affordable housing as appropriate.
The following planning policies were considered to be relevant to the consideration of this application:-
Planning Policy Guidance Note 4
Planning Policy Statement 6
Planning Policy Guidance Note 17
Regional Spatial Strategy for the North East (RSS)
In relation to the Tees Valley City Region it stated that the development of the Tees barrage had transformed Stockton Riverside and provided for attracting further office, employment uses, housing and an expansion of the university at the Northshore. There was also a major opportunity to link the town centre back to the Riverside. Policy 13 identified Northshore as one of eight major mixed-use regeneration projects. The supporting text stated that these schemes all had the aim of delivering sustainable economic activity and provide development and investment opportunities that would ensure the long-term development and regeneration of the North East. Many of the locations of such schemes accorded well with the locational strategy of the RSS, and also help to deliver the objectives of sustainable communities and city region policies. The creation of stylish apartments and family living accommodation, large scale office development, new educational facilities, business incubator units and sectors for quality tourism, culture, retail and leisure offer a unique opportunity to extend, and in many cases exceed, the current North East offering. As well as enriching the experience of people who will work and live in their surroundings, these flagship schemes would provide the catalyst for wider regeneration.

Supplementary Planning Document 3
Supplementary Planning Guidance 4 (SPG 4)
The main material planning considerations of the application related to whether it satisfied the requirements of National and Regional Guidance and Local Plan Policies, the impact of the proposed development on the locality in terms of neighbouring amenity, flood risk, ecology and nature conservation and vehicular access and traffic impact and highway safety.
Mr G Butterfield (Tees Review Trust) was in attendance at the meeting and was given the opportunity to address Members.
Members considered that the principle of residential mixed use development was acceptable in this location. Overall the nature and scale of the development was acceptable and it was considered that the site could satisfactorily accommodate the proposal without any undue impact on ecological habitat and flooding. The proposed access and highway arrangements satisfied the requirements of Head of Technical Services and the proposal was in accordance with relevant planning policy and guidance.
34/09 Consideration was given to a report on an application that sought advert consent to display banners 2m long x .8m wide on 18 no. lamp post within grounds of Holy Trinity Church.
The application was part of the wider interpretation works for the Trinity Green site.
Stockton Borough Council had consolidated Holy Trinity Church as a controlled ruin with the help of various funders.
The intention was to develop the wider Trinity Green site as a public park for both residents and visitors alike. The objective was to improve the character and appearance of the park and include appropriate interpretation. An accompanying application for a pinnacle and interpretation door feature (09/0794/LA) was approved at the Planning Committee meeting on 20th of May 2009.
The banners would be in the format of a historical time line focusing on historical events, buildings and people. The actual finalised banner designs were to be artist evolved, based on information gathered from local residents and school children.
The details of the Consultees and their comments were detailed within the report.
Neighbours were notified by means of letter and no comments were received.
With regard planning policy it was outlined that in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007, Part 1(3) A local planning authority shall exercise its powers under these Regulations in the interests of amenity and public safety, taking into account the provisions of the development plan, so far as they are material; and any other relevant factors.
Factors relevant to amenity included the general characteristics of the locality, including the presence of any feature of historic, architectural, cultural or similar interest;
Factors relevant to public safety included:-
(ii) Whether the display of the advertisement in question is likely to obscure, or
hinder the ready interpretation of, any traffic sign, railway signal or aid to navigation by water or air;
In taking account of factors relevant to amenity, the local planning authority may, if it thinks fit, disregard any advertisement that was being displayed and unless it appeared to the local planning authority to be required in the interests of amenity or public safety, an express consent for the display of advertisements shall not contain any limitation or restriction relating to the subject matter, content or design of what was to be displayed.
The relevant development plan in this case was the adopted Stockton on Tees Local Plan and the relevant saved policies:-
The main considerations of the application related to the impact on visual amenity and the impact on highway and public safety and whether it satisfied the requirements of the Local Plan Policies and Government Guidance. The impact on the character of the setting of the listed building was also considered.
Members considered that the banners would have a significant impact on the visual amenity of the area and would have an adverse impact on the setting of the listed church and the wider context of the park.
35/09 Consideration was given to a report that updated members on progress in the production of the Joint Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Core Strategy and Site Allocations Development Plan Documents and Sustainability Appraisal. It sought endorsement of the First Publication Draft Reports and Sustainability Appraisal for a six-week period of public consultation beginning in August 2009. The reports were attached for information.
It was outlined that the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit was preparing Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents on behalf of the Tees Valley Local Planning Authorities. In setting up the arrangements for this joint working, it was agreed that each authority would separately approve any consultation documents.
• The Core Strategy DPD which sets out overall strategy and generic development control policies for determining applications for minerals and waste developments,
• The Site Allocations DPD which identified specific sites for future development and which contained detailed policies for assessing planning applications.
The First Publication Draft Report was a key milestone in the preparation of a development plan document and represented the final stage in the production process prior to submission of the documents to the Secretary of State. The first stage was the Issues and Options Report, which was consulted on in May-June 2007. The second phase of the process was the Preferred Options report, which was consulted on during February - April 2008. It was intended to publish the Core Strategy and Site Allocations First Publication Documents and the associated Sustainability Appraisal for a six-week consultation period beginning in August 2009. Following this the documents would be submitted to the Secretary of State in December 2009, with an examination into the soundness of the documents occurring during 2010.
* To ensure the production of sufficient quantities of minerals in the sub-region to support anticipated levels of growth expected to 2024,
Members received an update report that outlined that following the finalisation of the Planning Committee report the Council had received a further version of the documents, which incorporated a number of maps. These maps were attached to the update report for Members information. The information did not change the recommendations from the original report.
