Comments: The application is for the construction of 156 dwellinghouses on a 11.6 hectare site at Cavalry Park by Colzium, Kilsyth. In response to a Structure Plan requirement for additional housing land to meet a perceived conurbation housing shortfall, North Lanarkshire Council has determined (through a process known as the Interim Housing Land Statement (IHLS)) that the Cavalry Park site is potentially suitable for housing.

(Site map included at this point)

There have been a significant number of letters of objection. Key points of objection relate to the development being contrary to the Green Belt designation of the site and National Planning Guidance, the claimed flawed nature of the IHLS process, an adverse effect on Colzium House and Colzium Lennox Estate, flood risk to proposed residents on the site and to downstream properties, sub-standard development proposals and an adverse effect on local ecology.

With respect to the development plan, it is noted that the site is covered by Green Belt policies in the Kilsyth Local Plan which presumes against new residential development. The proposal is however considered to be an appropriate departure from the Structure Plan in that it addresses an identified housing shortfall. The identification of the site as having potential for housing through the IHLS process is a material planning consideration, with it being noted that this is the most up to date expression of North Lanarkshire Council policy with regards to development of the site.Development proposals comply with the recommendations of a flood risk assessment. As such there is no over-riding flood risk on the site or increased flood risk downstream.

The site is not part of the Colzium Lennox Estate and is not considered to have any significant landscape distinction. It is recognised, however, that its position adjacent to the Colzium Lennox Estate and directly in front of Colzium House means that the residential development will have an effect on the setting of the Estate and Colzium House. The site has only limited ecological value. Ecological mitigation measures are built into the development proposals by having a wide nature conservation area corridor running alongside both banks of the Ebroch Burn and the retention of a significant area of wetland at the south west corner of the site.

Layout proposals have been negotiated through a pre-application master-plan submission which seeks to provide a development of high standard which compliments important natural features on the site and on adjacent land. In this respect, the Ebroch Burn is an important part of the development proposal, there is compensatory landscaping at key parts of the site, an area of wetland is retained and housing fronts on to Stirling Road. It is accepted, however, that, due to conflicting requirements which have emerged through the processing of the application, certain master-plan aspirations have not been fully met through the development proposal.

Taking all matters into account, it is considered that this is a suitable residential development site and that the Colzium Lennox Estate will provide a satisfactory new Green Belt boundary. Development proposals are satisfactory, and it is recommended that planning permission be granted.

It should be noted that there has been a request that the Committee undertake a site visit and hearing prior to the determination of the application.

Recommendation: Grant Subject to the Following Conditions:-

1. That the development hereby permitted shall be started within five years of the date of this permission.
