PROFESSIONAL PLANNING APPRAISAL
4.5 There is another expectation that the creation of new dwellings will need to meet the Council ’ s sustainability and climate change policies, which involve off-setting carbon emissions and incorporating energy saving and generating measures. It is likely that, for example, an Air Source Heat Pump will need to be incorporated for heating and hot water purposes. 4.6 Whilst the live application to the south of the office/workshop is an indication of in- principle support; it also proposes a dwelling, which if/when approved, will need to be considered as part of any planning application on this site, to ensure that the consented development is not prejudiced by direct overlooking. 5. DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL 5.1 The site offers good potential for a self-contained dwelling, with a change of use application being the path of least resistance. Notwithstanding, careful consideration of room layout and window placement will be necessary to ensure levels of amenity (for both future occupiers and existing neighbours) are appropriate. 5.2 Similarly, consideration needs to be given to the location of bin and bike storage, and the arrangements of private amenity space. 5.3 A planning application for a change of use of the site will require the normal plans, application forms, and ownership certificates. It will also need a Sustainability Statement for registration purposes. Should any operational development be proposed e.g., ground floor extensions; the application will also require a Coal Mining Risk Assessment.
