| 1. | The proposed development is located within the vicinity of the Town Wall and a Grade II listed building; no appropriate assessment has been carried out to assess the impact of the development on the heritage assets contrary to paragraph 128 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The development proposed, with specific reference the gates, camper vans and use of the northern building as a multi-use building does not make a positive contribution to the existing heritage assets. The development would have a negative effect on the local character and distinctiveness of the area contrary to paragraph 131 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposal does not seek to preserve the setting of the heritage assets and would reduce the significance of both assets to the wider setting contrary to paragraph 137 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 2. | Policy CS10 of the adopted Core Strategy seeks to preserve heritage assets and encourages appropriate development. The removal of existing access to the heritage asset is contrary to CS10 c). The inappropriate development would have an adverse impact on the heritage assets and would remove the ability of the public viewing them. The proposed use of the land and other aspects are not heritage led and are not appropriate uses as they do not provide any benefit to the assets and will have a detrimental effect contrary to policy CS10 of the adopted Core Strategy. |
| 3. | The use of the land for rehearsal space within the close proximity to residential dwellings will have a significant adverse effect on the amenities of the existing occupiers. The use of the land for rehearsal space, campervans/caravans and high intensity residential use will have a detrimental effect on the amenities of the neighbouring residential occupiers by way of noise, disturbance, potential anti-social behaviour and intensity of use. The increase in intensity is further compounded by the cumulative uses proposed which could not be adequately conditioned ensure that significant harm would not occur contrary to paragraph 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 4. | The use of the northern building for residential use, albeit temporarily for six months of the year, is not an appropriate use of the building. This is further exacerbated by the over intense use of the building as a house in multiple occupation which will have a significantly adverse effect on the occupiers of nearby residential dwellings. The standards of living accommodation are not acceptable even on a temporary basis and are contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework. It is further noted that guidance does not recommend that occupiers of dwellings are conditioned and therefore the number of people residing in the building could rise above the noted 8 further adversely impacting on the living conditions and the amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings contrary to policy HOU7 of the Borough Wide Local Plan. |
| 5. | No consideration has been given to the risks associated with the placement of the caravans/campervans and the inadequate space and fire risk is not alleviated by the prosed reduction in size of the units to occupy the site. The lack of disposal facilities for waste at the site will have an adverse impact on the nearby residents and the potential occupiers of the mobile units. |
| 6. | There is inadequate information provided regarding the external lighting and the gates. Without the required information the effect on the character and the setting of the listed building and ancient monument cannot be assessed and as such is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy CS10 of the Core Strategy. |
