Village Hall Project – analysis of pre-App response and costings of next steps.

 

Today Mike and I reviewed the NNC Planners reply with Php architect, Oliver Bazely.

1/ Planning application forms and to submit full planning application £330

2/ Provider site location plan – no fee

3/ Provide Block plan – no fee

4/ Provide existing site plan, including vehicular access and parking – no fee

5/ Provide site layout plan including vehicular access and parking including cycle parking and bin storage. We decided to ignore requirement for EV point on basis of limited parking on site        ( 12 vehicles)   fee £245

6/ Existing and Proposed floor plans – no fee as existing with slight tweaking should be OK

7/ Existing and Proposed elevations – Php to provide updates to proposed elevations including cladding options to meet NNC feedback.  Fee £830

8/ a/ Existing and Proposed site levels and finished floor levels including cross sections and street scenes, requires a Topographical survey

8/ b Cross sections showing existing and proposed adjacent uses in context ofc the proposed extensions and to prepare daylight / sunlight studies as pre all response

8/ c Street scenes for front and rear in colour from both High Street and College Street

Fees for all above 8 a/b/c/ £3640  plus approx. £4k/5k for full Topo survey

JM to discuss with NNC Planners ( Debbie Kirk / Kate Skingley ) if all of the above is absolutely necessary and if a more simple street scene photo montage prepared by Php would suffice for a fee of £2000

9/ Update Design and Access statement to include section on sustainability and energy efficiency. Use original with additions fee £1575

10/ Include 2/3-page crime prevention and security statement as per Pre-App response form Police Is this something the PC can provide by working with PSCOs for example?? Michelle Milroy.  No fee otherwise Php cost is £405.

11/ Heritage impact statement prepared by a specialist consultant. This to include impact on buildings which lie opposite, behind and adjacent to the site JM to discuss with NNC Planners DO WE REALLY NEED THIS as will be expensive. Cost of consultant £2/3k plus £405 php.

12/ Detailed boundary treatment plan quite simple showing fences / walls etc – fee £220

13/ Landscape plan including tree protection JM to discuss with planners DO WE REALLY NEED THIS. ( there is only 1 tree and a few bushes)  We should push back on this otherwise we should budget for specialist consultant etc £1500 plus PHP £245 to update design to reflect recommendations.

14/ Surface water drainage plan- we should also push back on this as there will little or no additional water to drain. There is no additional hard standing. A surface water drainage plan by a civil engineer will be very expensive.

15/ Noise impact assessment including mitigation details- assess any air con units outside but note inside the building will be a noise reduction control unit. This is a must and will likely cost £1500 for specialist consultant plus £320 php fees

16/ Update Transport Statement- no additional work so no fee.

17/ Construction Environmental management plan to protect ecology and habitat during the build process.  JM Discuss with Planners.

18/ Construction Traffic Management / Construction Method Statement to be prepared by the appointed contractor.

19/ Preliminary Ecological Assessment. Would need to be prepared by a specialist Ecologist. If this is absolutely necessary, it could be expensive (£2/3k) and take a number f months as certain species can only be recorded at certain times of the year i.e. Bats / Badgers / Hedge Hogs / Newts etc none of which should apply to this project. JM Discuss with NNC Planners

20/ Biodiversity Net Gain assessment report for 10% improvement to be provided or details of exception. Assess for increase in ecology / vegetation etc. This is new Government statutory requirements introduced 2 years ago ( unless relaxed by the Labour  Government) MUST DO Cost £1500 plus £320 php.

21/Statement of Community involvement ie Public Consultation event. To be arranged by The Parish Council. Php will provide free of charge large copies of plans and elevations etc.

This can only take place after  we feel confident that S106 monies will be forthcoming from NNC as questions will be asked about the financing.

22/ Discussion with neighbours- the pre-app highlighted the neighbours either side of High Street plus the property opposite No 51 High Street. Also, the property on College Street directly behind. To be arranged by The Parish Council prior to any wider community presentation.
