3 15/00406/OUT (Item 2 on plans list) c/o Neil Pike Architects Sheltered Housing Development comprising three storey building containing 18 apartments. (Outline Application with all matters except Landscaping submitted for approval). Land opposite 34 to 42 and at end of Pearl Street, Denton, Tameside (Officer recommendation to refuse) Refused for the following reasons: 1. The applicant had failed to submit sufficient information to satisfactorily demonstrate that a non-employment use was suitable on a site last used for employment purposes. As such the proposal was contrary to both Policy E3 of the UDP and the Council s adopted employment Lane SPD. 2. The proposed development by reason of its scale, height, massing, design and relationship to site boundaries resulted in a building which was unduly intrusive in the street scene and out of keeping with the character of the area. As such the proposal was contrary to Policies C1 and H10 of the UDP and the Councils adopted SPD Residential Design and Section 7 of the NPPF. 3. The proposed development by reason of its size, scale, mass and sub-standard separation distance to existing residential properties on Pearl Street would have a visually overbearing impact and result in serious overlooking over a short distance to the detriment of the reasonable amenity and privacy of occupiers thereof. As such the proposal was contrary to Policy H10 of the UDP, the Councils adopted SPD Residential Design and guidance contained at paragraph 17 of the NPPF. 15/00664/FUL (Item 3 on plans list) Mr Martyn Tomlinson Two storey side extension. Godley Green Cottage Green Lane, Hyde, Tameside. report. The diversion of footpath Hyde 88 under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to facilitate the development was authorised.

4 Name and Application No: : 15/00885/REM (Item 4 on plans list) Countryside Properties (UK) Ltd Residential development of 40 dwelling houses and associated access arrangements. Tameside College of Technology, Stockport Road, Hyde, Tameside. report. Name and Application No: : Additional Information: : 15/00501/FUL (Item 6 on plans list) Rockley Developments Ltd Demolition of public house and erection of 16 no. semidetached houses and associated works. Relish Bar and Grill, Manchester Road, Mossley, OL5 9AY At the meeting of Speakers Panel (Planning) on 14 October 2015 Members approved an application for 16 dwelling houses at Relish Bar and Grill, Mossley, subject to conditions and the prior signing of a S106 Legal Agreement. The proposed agreement sought a financial contribution from the developer towards education amounting to 20,360. However following on from that decision, the Council had made a number of changes to the policies and procedures for collecting financial contributions by way of S106 legal agreements in order to comply with the changes which had now come into force as a result of Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010 (as amended). This had included revoking the Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning document (SPD) which meant that the Council must now base financial contributions on the thresholds set by Unitary Development Plan policies H5 Open Space provision, H6 Education and Community Facilities and T13 Transport Investment. As a result, the thresholds for the size of developments had now been amended and increased in the case of education to a minimum of 25 units. Taking these changes into account, and given that the scheme only proposed 16 houses, officers advised members that the Council could not now seek an education contribution in respect of this scheme based on the threshold set out under UDP policy H6. A revised resolution was therefore sought to approve the scheme subject to conditions and a Section 106 agreement for greenspace. That the Planning Development Manager be authorised to grant planning permission, subject to the conditions set out in the original report and following the completion of a Section 106 agreement securing 9,684 towards greenspace.

The proposed agreement sought a financial contribution from the developer towards education amounting to 21,177. However following on from that decision, the Council had made a number of changes to the policies and procedures for collecting financial contributions by way of S106 legal agreements in order to comply with the changes which had now come into force as a result of Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010 (as amended). This had included revoking the Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning document (SPD) which meant that the Council must now base financial contributions on the thresholds set by Unitary Development Plan policies H5 Open Space provision, H6 Education and Community Facilities and T13 Transport Investment.
