The report of the Chief Planning Officer requests Members consideration on an application for a change of use of land for the siting of 8No. glamping units for holiday use, storage building and ancillary works including a new access road at land off Hall Park Road, Walton, Wetherby, LS22. Additional documents: Minutes: The report of the Chief Planning Officer requested Members consideration on an application for change of use of land for siting of 8 glamping units for holiday use, storage building and ancillary works including a new access road at land off Hall Park Road, Walton, Wetherby, LS22.
Members of the Panel had attended a site visit earlier in the day. Slides and photographs were shown throughout the presentation.
Members were provided with the following information: · 10 more letters in objection to the proposed site had been received since the report had been published. The issues raised were already mentioned in the submitted report. Issues of concern were contamination of land and the footpath, which Members had walked along during their site visit. A letter from Cllr Stables was also read out which objected to the planning proposal and agreed with the points made by other ward councillors. It highlighted concerns for road safety as Hall Park Road has no footpath and cars travel along it at speeds reaching 60mph. This would be used by pedestrians for walks and as access to the village. · An additional condition in relation to CCTV was to be added to those conditions listed in the submitted report for further details to be provided on CCTV, particularly in relation to siting of the same. · It was noted that during the site visit Members had requested details of disabled access for the site. Officers had spoken with the applicant who was amenable to make 1 unit accessible for disabled people. · It was noted that the applicant has control of the fields to the west and south of the proposed site and these would continue to be used for grazing. · The proposal was for 8 glamping pods, 5 to be located on the north-west of the site and 3 on the south-east of the site. The first 20 metres of the access road was to be constructed of tarmac, with the remaining track to be constructed of a grass stabilisation product known as Geogrid system. The development would be served with a modest car park for up to 11 car parking spaces, including 1 for electric vehicle charging. A bin store and small timber storage shed were also proposed adjacent to the car parking area. · The proposal also included a footpath link towards the village of Walton and landscaping of wildflowers and mixed natural planting. · The design of the pods was timber clad structures located above ground which measure 7.3 x 3 metres externally with a height of 3 metres. The pods would be screened with new tree and whip planting. · Drainage for the units for grey and foul water would be linked to the public sewer system which it was noted was to be agreed later. · The site would be set back approximately 90 metres from Hall Park Road with natural screening. · The site is located to the north-east of Walton which is a small village of approximately 225 occupants and benefits from a limited range of ... view the full minutes text for item 7. |
