SCHEDULE OF APPROVED PLANS

KL4170 - Auriga Spill Shield, 8874/011 - Existing External Lighting, 8874/012 - Proposed External Lighting, 8874/010 - Location Plan, Robsack Academy with Spill Shield 15 Degree Tilt, Robsack Academy - As Installed

The policies relevant to this Decision are:-

Hastings Planning Strategy 2011-2028 (adopted February 2014): None of particular relevance.

Hasting Development Management Plan (adopted September 2015): DM3 (General Amenity) and HC3 (Community Facilities).

National Planning Policy Framework 2012:

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) does not change the status of the Development Plan as the starting point for decision making but it does constitute guidance as a material consideration in determining planning applications. Part 8 (Promoting Healthy Communities) is relevant in this case and Paragraph 72 of the same part, advises Local Planning Authorities to give great weight to the need to alter and expand Schools.

Policy Statement on Planning for Schools Development:

The Policy Statement states that the planning system when dealing with planning applications for state-funded schools should operate positively and there should be a presumption in favour of the development of such Schools. The policy statement encourages a collaborative approach to applications, encouraging pre-application discussions and the use of planning obligations to help mitigate adverse effects of developments. Where it is required to impose conditions, they should be necessary in order to make development acceptable and be clearly justified, thereby demonstrably meeting the tests set out in Planning Practice Guidance, ‘Use of Planning Conditions’. The policy statement goes on to indicate that the Secretary of State will be minded to consider refusal of any application for state-funded schools to be unreasonable conduct, unless it is supported by clear and cogent evidence.

For Note

In determining this planning application, the County Council has worked with the applicant and agent in a positive and proactive manner. The Council has also sought views from consultees and neighbours and has considered these in preparing the recommendation. This approach has been taken positively and proactively in accordance with the requirement in the NPPF, and as set out in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
