41 POOL ROAD, SPEEDWELL PROFESSIONAL PLANNING APPRAISAL
5. DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
5.1 The site has the potential to accommodate a new build dwelling to the side of the
existing property (no. 41 Pool Road).
5.2 The Council operates a Community Infrastructure Levy, therefore any new
residential floorspace will be subject to a charge (see CIL Charging Schedule and
the CIL and S106 SPD, adopted March 2015), payable upon commencement of the
development.
5.3 Policy compliant car parking, on-site, will be required (1 space per 1 bed; 1.5 spaces
per 2 bed; 2 spaces per 3 or 4 bed; and 3 spaces per 5+ bed). Garages can count
towards the parking provision but only where they comply with the size requirements
in PSP16 (see also the Residential Parking Standards SPD). Visitor parking spaces are
required for schemes proposing five or more dwellings.
5.4 Secure and fully enclosed cycle storage in a convenient/accessible location will
also be required. Garages that comply with the size requirements in PSP16 can be
used for cycle parking.
5.5 The scheme will be need to comply with the Nationally Described Space Standard
(Technical Housing Standards); and local policy requirements relating to external
amenity space (Policy PSP43 refers); and refuse/recycling storage, see criterion 10
of Policy CS1 and the adopted waste supplementary planning document, to be
found at https://www.southglos.gov.uk/documents/Waste-SPD-Feb-2015.pdf.
5.6 Any new build dwelling is likely to be restricted to three bedrooms, due to the space
available and need for the development to sit appropriately within the street-scene,
and the policy requirements relating to car parking, and internal and external
space standards.
5.7 There is an established front building line along Pool Road therefore any new
dwelling should respect this (i.e. do not project the building beyond it). The rear
building line should also be respected in order to avoid any impacts upon
neighbouring amenity (see the adopted Design Checklist SPD for detailed
guidance that will need to be considered in the design of any scheme).
