LAND DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE

MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 15 JANUARY 2003

 

PLANNING APPLICATIONS

*Please note that the following information clause is attached to the decision notice of all building applications in full that are approved with or without conditions:

·          NB. This permission does not in any way constitute a waiver of the need to obtain building permission for this proposed development and any other necessary Government licenses and or permits that may be required.  The applicant is responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses that may be required.

 

2002/0475                     Storage, George Hill (38713 B 151) Sean Richardson

Refused for the following reasons

i.                     The establishment of a retail store in this location would adversely affect the residential amenity of the area for existing and future residents.

ii.                   The access road to service this proposal is considered inadequate on the grounds of public and road safety and in the interest of amenity.

 

2002/0476                     Dwelling House, Welches (89217 B 3) Marilyn Fleming

Deferred for:

i.                     a development scheme to be submitted; and

ii.                   the distance from existing building to the proposed building to be shown on the site plan.

 

2002/0477                     Subdivision, Rendezvous (28110 B 5) Flag Luxury Resorts

Deferred for:

  1. Submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment for the golf course development.
  2. Submission of a Final Master Plan for the development that shows clearly the linkages and relationship between this current proposal and other features and land uses.  For example, the submitted subdivision proposal shows a road network, which differs, from the last ‘master plan’ that we have been sent.  The Master Plan should include all land ownership of Flag Luxury Properties or for which they are seeking to develop.  For example, the Land Development Control Committee has been advised that land to the west Block 28009B/12 may be forming part of the overall development.
  3. Submission of a project brief that clearly indicates (preferably in tabular format) the land use proposals including the acreage number of units etc. for the project .  for example, x acres of residential use providing Y dwellings.

In addition to the matters listed above the following details are also required for this proposed subdivision:

a)      Payment of an additional EC$30 for ‘Lot 21’ which will be the ‘remainder’ i.e. rest of  golf course development site.

b)      The application form and drawing needs amending accordingly to take account of (a) above.

c)      Submission in triplicate of a location plans (as highlighted on the application form).

d)      Clear indication of extent of the following on an appropriate scaled plan of

·              Rocky shoreline

·              Dune areas o the rear of the rocky shoreline

·              Coastal vegetation line

·              Relationship of proposed lots and right of ways.

 

The Land Development Control Committee note that there is a key opportunity as part of the overall golf course development to create a coastal path/walkway for public use along the southern site boundary.  At the same time the established Land Development Control Committee policy (which has been supported by Executive Council on appeals) is that all permanent built development (buildings, other structures, pools , septic tanks etc.) must be setback a minimum of x feet from the vegetation line on rocky shorelines.  Therefore the allocation of land, possibly as a single lot, for the purpose of a coastal path is actively encouraged..

e)   The application indicates 12 of the 20 proposed lots are larger than the ˝ acre size that is permitted under the Alien Land Act.  Written details of justification for this should be submitted as part of this application.   We recognise that alteration given (d) above may reduce the actual lot sizes for lots 13 to 20 inclusive.

f)     The creation of triple and double frontage lots is not encouraged by the Land Development Control Committee.  The current application has Lot 8 being triple fronted and lot 7 is doubled fronted.  It is difficult to assess whether further lots will be similarly affected, as the wider road network has not been shown.

g)   The width of the proposed right of way and, how this relates to other roads in the development need to be clearly indicated on the application.
