19/5/07 To consider making a response to the following planning applications: · 19/4258N – Conversion of existing veterinarian practice to 8 occupant HMO – 5, EDLESTON ROAD, CREWE, CW2 7HJ

The Town Council objects to this proposal because of the lack of off-street parking. In fact the proposal removes two off street spaces. The applicant’s assertion in the Design and Access statement that there is “ample” on street parking is incorrect. On-street parking is heavily oversubscribed in this area due to the existing density of occupation and parking restrictions on Edleston Road. It is not clear what the reference to Ripple Road in the design and access statement refers to. Council makes the following comments in relation to the application.. · 19/4337N – Application for approval of reserved matters (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) for the erection of 245 dwellings together with associated access, landscaping, car parking and public open space reserved following the grant of planning permission 19/2859N (as originally granted under permission 15/0184N) The development was not EIA development – Land North of, SYDNEY ROAD, CREWE, CW1 5NF The Town Council has concerns about surface water which already collects in the area fronting Maw Green Lane, and at times of heavy rainfall the Lane floods under the railway bridge and for some distance eastwards. Local residents report that the road has flooded 4 times this year. The scheme should be carefully evaluated to ensure that it does not worsen this problem, and if at all possible measures be included to provide relief such as a contribution to a pumping station. To maintain and enhance biodiversity, the Town Council recommends that the plans be amended or conditions imposed to: 1) ensure that the recommendations of the CES Ecology report submitted by the applicant are implemented including holes/gaps in fencing or walls for the passage of hedgehogs. 2) include measures to achieve a net gain in biodiversity in accordance with NPPF para 175 (d) and Policy Env 2 of the Publication Draft SADPD, for example through the provision of swift, bee and bat bricks and house martin cups.
