ADDENDUM REPORT

This application was originally presented to Belfast City Council Planning Committee on 16th May 2017 with a recommendation to refuse and was deferred for a site visit. The Committee agreed to defer for consideration of the application in order to undertake a site visit to allow the Committee to acquaint itself with the location and the proposal at first hand and that additional information on reflective glazing be submitted prior to the next committee meeting.

A site visit took place on Wednesday, 14th June at 1.00pm for members to acquaint themselves with the site and surrounding area.

At the site visit Members familiarised themselves with the proposal and its context including a number of substantial rear returns on other properties from the rear alley way (Wellington Lane).

Plans of an adjoining scheme at No 78-80 Eglantine Avenue were discussed. Approval was granted at this address in 2009 for ‘change of use from offices to 18 apartments including an extended rear return’. This approval has two apartments at ground floor with rear outlook. This is considered to be a poor decision and Belfast City Council is not bound by this decision taken by the DoE.

At the site visit a query was raised regarding the development at 98 Eglantine Avenue (Z/2001/1518/RM) Permission was granted on 3rd August 2005 for two apartments.

Subsequent to the May Committee Meeting, amended drawings and amended application form have been submitted reducing the number of apartments from 6 to 5 and details of the reflective glazing has also been submitted. These drawings have been re-advertised and re-neighbour notified and no further objections were received.

The amended plans fully address Planning Service’s concerns regarding the proposal.

The amended scheme incorporates a two bed duplex apartment over the ground and first floor rather than two one bed apartments at ground and first floor. The duplex apartment proposes a living room and kitchen on the first floor and bedrooms on the ground floor. This overcomes the issue of the ground floor apartment having no outlook as the duplex now has views over Wellington Lane. The scheme also proposes the use of mirrored glass on the lower portion of windows on the ground floor bedrooms which allows residents views out but still protects privacy. A landscaping scheme was also submitted with a landscaped buffer between communal paths and garden areas which provides defensible space to the residents of the ground floor apartment.

It is considered that the amended scheme is now compliant with PPS 7 and provides a quality residential development for all proposed residents. The other aspects of the scheme were considered acceptable and are detailed in the original case officer’s report attached as Appendix 2 to this addendum report.

DfI Roads was consulted and offered no objections to the amended scheme.

Recommendation

The revised recommendation is to approve the amended scheme as submitted subject the following conditions.

Characteristics of the Site and Area1.0 Description of Proposed Development

The application seeks alterations to the internal layout of 82 Eglantine Avenue including demolition to facilitate a new residential building consisting of six (one bedroom) apartments. (The application had originally been submitted as demolition of the entire building retaining only the façade and erection of 8 apartments.)

2.02.1

2.2

Description of Site and AreaThe existing building at 82 Eglantine Avenue, last used as offices, is a two bay, two and a half storey terraced property, faced in red brick with pitched and slated roof (with cockscomb ridge tiles).There is a two storey canted bay window to the front elevation. To the rear there is a three storey, gabled return (paired with the neighbouring property), a single storey element beyond and an enclosed yard. A larger unkempt area exists between the yard wall and the laneway between the rear of the properties on Eglantine Avenue and those on Wellington Park Terrace. The property retains historic timber in the form of full pane sliding sash window frames and the original six panelled door.

The Eglantine/Wellesley/Wellington Sub Area is a predominantly residential townscape located at the northern end of the Conservation Area. However there are properties utilised in other ways: guest house, day nursery, offices and charities. To the rear of 82 Eglantine Avenue is the listed terrace – Wellington Park Terrace. Properties in the vicinity are generally constructed from traditional brick and are constructed in terraces.

Planning Assessment of Policy and other Material Considerations3.0 Site History3.1

3.2

In 2014 planning permission (Z/2014/1228/F) was granted for the change of use of 82 Eglantine Avenue from offices to a dwelling.

In 2009 adjacent to this property at 78-80 Eglantine Avenue a change of use was approved from offices to thirteen apartments to include an extended rear return (Z/2007/2374 and Z/2009/0534/F). At 73 Eglantine Avenue an extension and alteration to the existing property was approved in 2009 (Z/2009/0675/F) and 2015 (Z/2014/1729/F) to provide eight apartments.

Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern IrelandThe purpose of planning is to prevent proposals which would unacceptably affect amenity and the existing use of land. Planning authorities are guided by the principle that sustainable development should be permitted, having regard to the local development plan and all other material considerations, unless the proposed development will cause demonstrable harm to interests of acknowledged importance.

In managing development within a designated Conservation Area the guiding principle is to afford special regard to the desirability of enhancing its character or appearance where an opportunity to do so exists, or to preserve its character or appearance where an opportunity to enhance does not arise. Accordingly, there will be a general presumption against the grant of planning permission for development or conservation area consent for demolition of unlisted buildings, where proposals would conflict with this principle. This general presumption should only be relaxed in exceptional circumstances where it is considered to be outweighed by other material considerations grounded in the public interest.

Listed Buildings of special architectural or historic interest are key elements of our built heritage and are often important for their intrinsic value and for their contribution to the character and quality of settlements and the countryside. It is important therefore that development proposals impacting upon such buildings and their settings are assessed, paying due regard to these considerations, as well as the rarity of the type of structure and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.

Demolition in the Conservation AreaIn adherence to Policy BH 14 of PPS 6 demolition of an unlisted building will only be permitted where the building makes no material contribution to the character and appearance of the area. Basic conservation principles revolve around the maximum retention of historic fabric. The scheme propose involves demolition of internal walls, chimney breast to the rear (stack retained), and portion of existing exterior wall to form openings in the side elevation to the rear of the building (amended description). Photographic evidence appears to show substantial alteration / loss of historic fabric has taken place during conversion to previous uses. As such, the proposed internal reconfiguration is considered acceptable in this case.

New Development in the Conservation AreaThe proposed development preserves the majority of the external historic fabric of the building, retaining the rear return. As such the development is considered compliant with PPS 6.

Impact on the Listed Wellington Park TerraceObjections have been received stating that the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the Listed Wellington Park Terrace. NIEA Historic Environment Division (HED) has been consulted to consider whether the amended development proposal affects 13 Wellington Park Terrace, a Grade B1 listed building of special architectural or historic interest as set out in Section 80 and protected under the Planning Act (NI) 2011. HED notes that there has been significant new development in the area and considers the current revised proposal does not represent a demonstrable negative impact on the listed structures. The proposed new building has been redesigned to reflect the original conformation of the house. The site is separated from the listed building by a rear entry and the front gardens of the listed terrace. As such the development now complies with Policy BH 11 of PPS 6 (Development affecting the Setting of a Listed Building) and HED have no objections.

Density – OverdevelopmentObjections raised concerns about the number of apartments proposed in the development and that it amounted to overdevelopment of this location. PPS 7 Policy QD 1 (a) states that the development respects the surrounding context and is appropriate to the character and topography of the site. Belfast City Council will have regard to the location of the proposal in relation to its context and the overall quality of the residential environment to be created. In a city centre location or on sites which benefit from high accessibility to public transport facilities, where a high quality and frequent service is available, high density development, such as apartments or town houses, will normally be acceptable. There are large numbers of properties in the immediate vicinity of the site at Eglantine Avenue converted into multiple apartments. The property adjacent at 80 Eglantine Avenue was converted from offices into thirteen apartments with an extended rear return – planning permission approved in 2009. It is not considered the density proposed will result in overdevelopment of the site.

Residential LayoutPPS 7 Policy QD 1 states that proposed developments should respect the character of the site by way of an acceptable layout. It should present an attractive outlook rather than unsightly views of back land areas. Three apartments (2, 3 and 5) are proposed to be located to the rear of the building. Apartment 2 on the ground floor has a rear facing outlook to the communal amenity space and bin area/cycle storage area. The residents of this apartment would be afforded a limited outlook to the rear. In addition the lower half of windows in this ground floor apartment are proposed to be obscured to prevent overlooking by other residents of the apartment block while in communal garden/at bins etc. This layout out will minimise any outlook and present a poor quality living environment for prospective residents of apartment 2. It is therefore contrary to policy QD1. Although the space standards as detailed in Annex A of PPS 7 Addendum are not applicable in this location they are a guideline to what acceptable living standards are. The six apartments meet the minimum requirements of 35/40sqm for one bed-one person apartments.

While apartments 3 and 5 on the first and second floors have a rear facing outlook towards the gardens of Wellington Park Terrace it is considered that due to the unique location of Wellington Park Terrace and the elongated front gardens that apartments 3 and 5 have an acceptable outlook.

OverlookingObjections raised concerns regarding overlooking towards Wellington Park Terrace and the subsequent loss of privacy. In accordance with PPS 7 (h) the design and layout of the development must not create conflict with surrounding land uses by way of overlooking. The separation distance between the two living room windows (apartments 3 and 5) on the first and second floors is thirteen metres from the rear boundary of 13 Wellington Park Terrace. Windows on the proposed rear return facing 80 Eglantine Avenue have obscure glass on the lower half to prevent overlooking.

Dominance / Overshadowing and Loss of LightIn accordance with PPS 7 (h) the design and layout of the development must not create conflict with surrounding land uses by way of dominance, overshadowing and loss of light. As the proposed development does not involve any extension to the existing building, there will not be any detrimental harm caused to 84 Eglantine Avenue.Parking and AccessObjections have raised concerns regarding a lack of car parking with this development.

PPS 3 Policy AMP 7 (Car Parking and Service Arrangements) stipulates that adequate provision for car parking should be facilitated that does not prejudice road safety or significantly inconvenience the flow of traffic. The precise amount of car parking will be determined according to the specific characteristics of the development and its location. Creating places stipulates a requirement of 8 unassigned parking spaces for six (one bed) apartments. No in-curtilage parking provision is included within the proposed development. PPS 3 Policy AMP 7 states that a reduced level of car parking provision is acceptable where the development is in a highly accessible location well served by public transport or where the development would benefit from a spare capacity available in nearby public car park or adjacent on street parking. Eglantine Avenue is located within close proximity to the Malone Road and Lisburn Road Arterial Routes. A parking survey report was submitted by the applicant to justify the non-provision of in-curtilage parking provision. Transport NI have assessed the submitted report and offer no objection to the development proposal. As such the proposed development is compliant with PPS 3, PPS 7, Creating Places and Parking Standards.

Amenity SpaceObjections raised concerns regarding the loss of amenity space with the proposed development. Creating Spaces states that communal open space is acceptable for apartment development ranging between 10sqm to 30sqm per unit. The proposed development exceeds the minimum requirement and as such is compliant with PPS 7 (c), Creating Places and DCAN 8.

Waste StorageObjections were received raising concerns regarding a lack of waste storage. Belfast City Council City and Neighbourhood Department have been consulted and state that the proposed bin storage facility is acceptable for six apartments.

Neighbour NotificationObjections raised concerns that not all neighbours had been notified. This planning application has been neighbour notified in accordance with The Planning (General Development Procedure) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015: paragraph 8 (b) serve notice of the application to any identified occupier on neighbouring land in accordance with paragraph 2 (Neighbouring land means land which directly adjoins the application site or which would adjoin it but for an entry or a road less than 20 metres in width).

Noise and Anti-Social BehaviourObjections raised concerns regarding noise and anti-social behaviour. Belfast City Council Environmental Health has examined the plans for the proposed development and considered them in terms of noise and offer no objections. Matters of anti-social behaviour are not a planning but will be dealt with the appropriate authority if the circumstances arise.

Flooding IssuesObjections raised concerns regarding flooding potential due to the amount of hardstanding. In accordance with PPS 15 Revised a Drainage Assessment is not required for a development of this nature or scale. Rivers Agency has been consulted and offer no objection

9.17 Conclusion The scheme is deemed as unacceptable as the proposed layout has resulted in a development which is not considered acceptable in policy terms. Residential units should not be located wholly in the rear. The outlook for proposed residents in Unit 2 (ground floor) is thus considered unacceptable, a situation exacerbated by the inclusion of obscured glazing, which is required to protect the amenity of these residents. As such, the overall layout of the scheme is considered contrary to policy QD1 and refusal is

recommended. 10.0 Summary of Recommendation

Refusal

11.0 Refusal Reasons

1. The proposal is contrary to Policy QD1 of Planning Policy Statement 7 in that it would, if permitted, result in an unacceptable living environment causing harm to the living conditions of prospective residents of apartment 2 (ground floor), due to an unacceptable outlook. The proposed development would therefore fail to create a quality residential environment.
