Morning Tony,
 
I understand that you are attending the meeting tomorrow at 11am, and it appears that the following
 will be in attendance:
 
·        You
·        Me
·        Councillor Latty
·        16 residents
·        2 or 3 from the Burning Night Group
·        Paddy Whur (the applicant’s solicitor who handled the licensing case)
 
I assume a decision will thereafter be taken in terms of whether the application is determined under
 delegated powers or at Plans Panel, but in any event I understand that the LPA are still in support of
 the proposal at Officer level, subject to conditions on the opening times of the outside area.
 
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, and hopefully the residents’ concerns can be addressed.
 
Regards.

Afternoon Tony,
I refer to yesterday’s meeting with Councillor Latty and the residents, and thank you for attending.
We considered it to be a very helpful meeting and I am sure that the residents were left in no doubt that the
 applicant is an extremely conscientious operator who wishes to work closely with residents both before the
 application is determined, right through the process following opening.
Whilst traffic was raised as an issue by residents, we agree that from a technical aspect, there are no highways
 reasons for objecting to this proposal.  Councillor Latty agreed with this in his summing up.
This leaves potential noise / customer behaviour as an issue to be addressed, in terms of the potential impact of
 the proposal upon the residents of Springfield Court and Oxford Court (notwithstanding the town centre
 location of the site).
You heard yesterday just how seriously my clients take this matter, and their close liaison with the Police /
 licensing authorities at their existing venues, so that they can be held as an exemplar of good conduct.
The architects will now produce an amended site layout plan which:
·        Relocates the propose commercial bin storage from the eastern most end of the car park
·        Proposes customer litter bins (which can be conditioned)
·        Proposes a smokers area
·        Shows a turning circle for service vehicles within the car park
·        Proposes a good quality and aesthetically pleasing acoustic fence around the car park periphery
I understand that the application will be presented to plans panel in August, and I would be grateful if you could
 confirm the date.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards.

Thank you they are helpful and will enable the Plans Panel to better understand the design of the
 extension to the rear.  Can you clarify the material proposed for the retracting roof.  It looks very
 pale in the images and may attract comment.  Could it be a darker colour such as grey. 
 Presumably the windows and balustrading are aluminium frames and darkened glass.  Can you
 also clarify what happens to the roof and window frames when the canopy is opened?
 
Thanks for your assistance.

Afternoon Tony,
 
If planning permission is granted on Thursday, my clients wish to commence (some limited) building
 works immediately, and have teams in place to do so.
 
As such, I would ask you to be minded not to impose any pre-commencement conditions (which can
 add 2-3 months to the programme) and would suggest:
 
·        Materials to be approved before extension works commence
·        Landscaping, car park management and fencing (etc.) details submitted and implemented
 before opening
·        Details of excavations submitted and approved before any excavations take place

Subject: Potting Shed Noise Conditions
 
Hi Tony,
 
Firstly I am still awaiting the construction management plan and I have chased that today.
 
I have run the acoustic conditions by Chris Chittock of Dragonfly, who produced the acoustic survey.
 
He has raised some material comments, which I set out below.
 
He says that condition 14 is unenforceable in its current form and would render it impossible to have
 any music played with the windows open.  He suggests the following condition:
 
"Music should be played within the premises only, with no sound reproduction apparatus capable of
 playing music to be located externally at any time."
 
Regarding 16, he says it would also be unenforceable because neither the applicant nor the Council
 have any idea if the noise environment within the properties nearby already meets the criteria
 detailed for maximum noise events. He suspects, given the railway line proximity, it will not and as
 such it would not be possible for the Council to enforce the condition on maximum noise levels.
 
In respect of the plant noise, this was not covered in their assessment as the Council had not
 requested consideration of it.  The criteria requested is very strict and not in accordance with national
 British Standards guidance. The reference within that condition to the car park would effectively
 mean that it was not possible for cars to use the car park without breaching the condition (and clearly
 Members want the car park to have full use).  Chris suggests the following wording:
 
"The premises shall not be brought into use until a further assessment of plant noise has been
 submitted to the local planning authority. All externally mounted plant or equipment to be installed as
 a part of the development should be designed with appropriate noise control measures such that the
 predicted noise level from  all externally mounted plant achieves a rating noise level equal to the
 existing measured background noise level at the nearest noise sensitive dwelling, when assessed in
 accordance with the methodology detailed in BS4142:2014. Background noise levels should also
 be measured and assessed in accordance with the methodology as set out by BS4142:2014. The
 assessment should detail the results of the BS4142 assessment and any mitigation measures
 required to demonstrate compliance with the plant noise criterion detailed above.
 
Music should be played within the premises only, with no sound reproduction apparatus capable of
 playing music should be located externally. 
 
Any music reproduction system installed within the building should be capable of being controlled
 such that noise levels due to music within the premises do not exceed 75dB(A) LAeq, 15mins (15





 minute average noise level) and 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins in either the 60Hz or 125Hz octave bands
 when all external windows are closed. During periods that external doors or windows are open noise
 levels should be controlled such that noise levels due to music within the premises do not exceed
 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins (15 minute average noise level) and 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins in either the 60Hz
 or 125Hz octave bands in areas with open windows or doors.”
 
Chris advises me that the above condition provides detailed and adequate controls on both plant
 noise and music noise based on nationally accepted guidance that is relevant and suitable for music
 noise. Both are testable and enforceable and can be checked by an EHO at any time simply by them
 turning up. Neither require the EHO to have any access to any neighbouring properties.
 
Chris is trying to be helpful in framing the wording such that the conditions meet the tests, which gives
 more certainty to the Council.
 
It may be that you need to liaise with your EHO, and possibly have a meeting with Chris and the EHO
 to talk this through.
 
What do you think?
 
Regards, Carl.

I only raised this as there is no pay and display car parking in Guiseley as such. There is a
 free public car park on Netherfield Road about 5 mins walk from the site. I think this
 would be the logical place for workers on the site (not ‘men’ please!) to park and suggest
 that the contractors direct workers to there.

Tony,
Please find below the response from the architects in relation to reference to ‘pay and
 display’, please see below:
Condition 9 asked for details of workforce parking. There is sufficient space on site for
 potentially 5 vehicles if blocking one another in. With the numbers of men on site there is
 likely to be more than 5 vehicles so the main contractor is proposing that additional
 parking is sourced offsite in pay and display facilities. I am happy to have this note
 removed if it is unnecessary – please advise.
Is this a sufficient explanation?

Will you please note the comments from a local resident regarding work starting before 8.00am. 
 If this is the case this is very disappointing and I would be grateful if you would impress on your

 we will initiate enforcement action which would be likely to involve the serving of a Temporary

Dear Mr Clegg
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
 main concern is the open first floor terrace and outside noise BEFORE 2100
 hrs.
 
How will the noise be contained and controlled?
 
Does there need to be sound recording in place now so we have levels before the Potting
 Shed opens in view of the problems at the Bingley site?
 
Also will residents be overlooked from the first floor terrace or will the sides be
 opaque/solid?
 
(For the record the contractors started work today at 0740 hrs and the mechanical digger
 was pulling down masonry at 0750 hrs.)

Dear 
 
Thank you for your email.  The conditions attached to the grant of planning
 permission are designed, as a whole, to ensure that local residents will not suffer

 an unacceptable loss of amenity through noise.  I would agree that a 2m acoustic
 fence around the perimeter of the car park will have no effect on any noise from
 the first floor terrace, which is why this and other outdoor areas are required to
 close by 9PM.  There is also a condition regarding sound proofing which will need
 to demonstrate that there will not be an issue with noise for residents when the
 first floor canopy roof is closed. 
 
I hope that this response assists.

Dear Sir
 
, I have
 
 
, how the inevitable noise from the

 outside areas, especially the rear open air 1st floor terrace would be
 contained. 
 
 are extremely worried in view of the ongoing problems at the
 Potting Shed Bingley, where a proposed 5.5 metre acoustic fence has been
 refused planning permission on conservation grounds - The proposed 5.5
 metre high acoustic fence would introduce a wholly incongruous feature to
 Bingley Conservation Area - plus the effectiveness is also in doubt. 
Please see attached (17_02562_FUL-OFFICER_REPORT-4890117 and
 17_02562_FUL-DECISION_NOTICE-4891861
 
Although the Guiseley operation proposes a 2 metre acoustic fence, 
 
feel it will be totally inadequate as the height of the rear 1st floor
 terrace far exceeds 2 metres. 
 
 
Although there are conditions that the outside areas are to be closed at 2100
 hrs, the residents are worried that their quality of life will be ruined by noise
 and anti social behaviour well before 2100 hrs as demonstrated by the
 Bingley operation.
 
Therefore, please can you explain how the rear OPEN 1st floor terrace noise
 will be contained and will it be sound proof when the roof is CLOSED and
 reassure 
 that LCC will prevent any noise/anti social behaviour

Dear Mr Clegg
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
 main concern is the open first floor terrace and outside noise BEFORE 2100
 hrs.
 
How will the noise be contained and controlled?
 
Does there need to be sound recording in place now so we have levels before the Potting
 Shed opens in view of the problems at the Bingley site?
 
Also will 
 be overlooked from the first floor terrace or will the sides be
 opaque/solid?
 
(For the record the contractors started work today at 0740 hrs and the mechanical digger
 was pulling down masonry at 0750 hrs.)
 
Regards

Former HSBC Bank Plc, Oxford Road, Guiseley, Leeds, LS20 8AA
 
Dear Sir
 
, I have
 been asked 

 
, how the inevitable noise from the
 outside areas, especially the rear open air 1st floor terrace would be
 contained. 
 
 are extremely worried in view of the ongoing problems at the

 Potting Shed Bingley, where a proposed 5.5 metre acoustic fence has been
 refused planning permission on conservation grounds - The proposed 5.5
 metre high acoustic fence would introduce a wholly incongruous feature to
 Bingley Conservation Area - plus the effectiveness is also in doubt. 
Please see attached (17_02562_FUL-OFFICER_REPORT-4890117 and
 17_02562_FUL-DECISION_NOTICE-4891861
 
Although the Guiseley operation proposes a 2 metre acoustic fence, 
 
feel it will be totally inadequate as the height of the rear 1st floor
 terrace far exceeds 2 metres.
 
 
Although there are conditions that the outside areas are to be closed at 2100
 hrs, 
 are worried that their quality of life will be ruined by noise
 and anti social behaviour well before 2100 hrs as demonstrated by the
 Bingley operation.
 
Therefore, please can you explain how the rear OPEN 1st floor terrace noise
 will be contained and will it be sound proof when the roof is CLOSED and
 reassure 
 that LCC will prevent any noise/anti social behaviour
 through the conditions attached to the application.
 
We look forward to your reply as soon as possible.
 
Yours faithfully

Tony,
 
It was only when I received the technical input of Dragonfly that I raised our concerns (in detail)
 regarding condition 16, in the hope that it could be worded differently on the decision notice.  Your
 response was:
 
“I am afraid however that I am not in a position to renegotiate noise conditions at this juncture as
 these are the conditions as recommended by our EH officer and agreed at the Plans Panel
 meeting.  We will therefore be issuing the permission on the basis of the conditions provided to
 you. “
 
Hence the horse had bolted.
 
I am sure we can sort this matter, as both parties are looking to secure the same outcome. 
 
Have a good weekend.

Tony,
 
My point is that we may have no choice but to submit a S.73 application because condition 16 at
 best doesn’t meet the conditions as set out in paragraph 206 of the Framework and at worst, is ultra
 vires.  I say this because in order to enforce it, access into third party property is required, and the
 condition is not precise - which property?  Precision and enforceability are both tests. 
 
Please note that my original email states that we will make every endeavour to address condition 16
 in its current format so that the premises can open in the first instance.
 
I hope that a mutually acceptable position can be reached, and that may be a sensibly re-worded
 condition (through a S.73) that does meet the tests.  If that has to be presented to Panel, so be it.
 
I look forward to hearing the opinion of your EHO, but can I suggest that the four of us get together
 and discuss this matter?  Would that be possible?  It is often best to discuss these matters through
 face to face.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.

I do recall your email of 13 September but this was not before but after the Panel meeting
 which was on 7 September 2017
 by which time the conditions had been approved by the
 Panel. 
 
I would strongly advise against the submission of a S73 application as we are likely to end up
 back before elected members with any such application and this would not be until well into the

Subject: Potting Shed, Guisley - Condition 16

 
Tony,
 
Condition 16
 
JS Design have been instructed to discharge conditions, save for condition 16 (noise). 
 
You will recall that I emailed you on 13 September (before committee) and set out that in our opinion,
 condition 16 is not unenforceable because neither the applicant nor the Council have any idea if the
 noise environment within the properties nearby already meets the criteria detailed for maximum
 noise events. We suspect, given the railway line proximity, it will not and as such it would not be
 possible for the Council to enforce the condition on maximum noise levels.
 
Also, in respect of the plant noise, this was not covered in Dragonfly’s assessment as the Council had
 not requested consideration of it.  The criteria requested is very strict and not in accordance with
 national British Standards guidance. The reference within that condition to the car park would
 effectively mean that it will not be possible for cars to use the car park without breaching the
 condition, which given that it is already a car park and one which Members wish to see used, would
 be far from ideal.
 
As such, I have recommended to my clients that we now proceed with the following course of action:
 
1.     A sound insulation scheme as required by condition 16 will be designed and submitted to the
 LPA in order to discharge that condition (notwithstanding my comments above, and that
 consequently use of the car park may be prohibited).
2.     We will submit a S.73 application next week which seeks to change the wording of condition
 16 to one that we are advised is lawful and would completely satisfy the council in terms of
 protecting residential amenity.  The wording we will be suggesting is as follows:
 
"The premises shall not be brought into use until a further assessment of plant noise has been
 submitted to the local planning authority. All externally mounted plant or equipment to be installed as
 a part of the development should be designed with appropriate noise control measures such that the
 predicted noise level from  all externally mounted plant achieves a rating noise level equal to the
 existing measured background noise level at the nearest noise sensitive dwelling, when assessed in
 accordance with the methodology detailed in BS4142:2014. Background noise levels should also
 be measured and assessed in accordance with the methodology as set out by BS4142:2014. The
 assessment should detail the results of the BS4142 assessment and any mitigation measures
 required to demonstrate compliance with the plant noise criterion detailed above.
 
Music should be played within the premises only, with no sound reproduction apparatus capable of
 playing music should be located externally. 
 
Any music reproduction system installed within the building should be capable of being controlled
 such that noise levels due to music within the premises do not exceed 75dB(A) LAeq, 15mins (15
 minute average noise level) and 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins in either the 60Hz or 125Hz octave bands
 when all external windows are closed. During periods that external doors or windows are open noise
 levels should be controlled such that noise levels due to music within the premises do not exceed
 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins (15 minute average noise level) and 60dB(A) LAeq, 15mins in either the 60Hz
 or 125Hz octave bands in areas with open windows or doors.”
 
I simply wished to give you a heads up on this matter, as we wish to work with the Council in finding a
 condition that satisfies residential amenity, is enforceable and is reasonable in all other respects.

Afternoon Tony,
 
As you are aware, the project architect JS Design is in the process of discharging planning
 conditions.
 
Dragonfly consulting have been instructed by our client to provide the sound insulation scheme that
 will be submitted to discharge condition 16.
 
However, there are some technical problems being experienced which make discharging the
 condition in full very challenging.  Hence, Chris Chittock of Dragonfly has contacted your EHO (see
 below) to request a meeting whereby we can discuss the precise wording of this condition, and the
 work that has been carried out so far in an attempt to discharge the condition, and the problems that
 are being experienced.  Of course, ultimately our client and the Council seek the same objective; to
 ensure that the premises are operated without causing a noise nuisance.
 



I have sent you this email as the lead planner because I think it would be very helpful for you and I to
 be in attendance, and hopefully the EHO will be in touch promptly so that we can address this
 matter.
 
Regards, Carl.

Gary,
 
I’ve just tried to give you a call and got your answerphone. I’m assuming that you are
 likely to be the officer that dealt with the planning conditions for the above site? If not,
 could you direct me to the person who is please?
 
Assuming it is yourself, I’d be grateful if you could email or give me a call to arrange a sit
 down to discuss the noise conditions with the planning officer and our planning
 consultant.
 
In essence we are in the position where we have a noise conditions that effective key make
 it impossible to trade the premises that was applied for an has been given permission. As
 such we need to look at how we might go about discharging the conditions in practice.
 
Thanks for your help

Dear Councillor Latty
 
Re: Planning Application 17/02609/FU  Former HSBC Bank Oxford Road
 Guiseley Leeds LS20 8AA
 
On behalf 
 we have concerns about the
 above application as follows:
 
1.         According to the document 17_06614_COND--
_HIGHWAYS_TEAM-2110648.pdf
 
            Transport Development Services Consultation Response states
 - ROAD SAFETY: The proposal raises road safety concerns
 
Is anything being done about this?
 
 
2.         According to the Tree Report: 17_06733_COND-
ARBORICULTURAL_REPORT-2096303.pdf


 
            5.2 Tree Removals for Arboricultural Purposes
            5.2.1 On this occasion, no trees have been identified as category ‘U’
 and as such no trees are recommended for removal in the current context of
 the site. 
 
but the document below states removal of T3 and T4
 
            17_06733_COND-
ARBORICULTURAL_METHOD_STATEMENT-2096304.pdf
            2.1.2  The tree works include: The removal of T3 and T4 to facilitate
 the proposed development.
Does this mean the trees are to be removed?
 
 
In addition, no one seems to wear safety headgear apart from one worker
 possibly a building inspector.
There has also been reports of radios being used.
 
 
I have addressed the above to Tony Clegg, Leeds City Council Planning
 Services, over a week ago but have yet to receive a reply.
 
Regards

7579-07a - External Works Drawing.pdf_POT220_8_10544626.pdf
Morning Tony,
 
As you are aware, a scheme for road marking and car parking arrangements was submitted by the
 architect (see attached), who informs me that you will be looking at this, and the other details
 submitted, during the course of this week.
 
Trees T3 and T4 are proposed for removal in order to facilitate the installation of the external fire
 escape staircase, and the architects await your response to this.
 
Comments regarding radios and work wear have been passed onto our client.
 
Can you address any queries regarding all conditions save for condition 16 (sound insulation
 scheme) to the architects?
 
With regard to condition 16, you are aware that our appointed acoustic consultants (Dragonfly) are
 experiencing some technical difficulties with meeting the specification set out in this condition, and
 we have requested a meeting with your environmental health officer Gary Mann.  However, he
 emailed yesterday to state that he no longer works in the EP team, so Dragonfly will email the team
 today and try again.  It is very important that we have this meeting at the very earliest opportunity.
 
Regards.

Thank you for your email.  I must say however that I am disappointed by this response and had
 hoped for a more constructive dialogue on this matter. 
 
However, for clarification, I object to the use of grey window frames for both new and existing
 windows which in my view are wholly inappropriate to this prominent Victorian building in a
 Conservation Area.  As you appear unwilling to amend the scheme however we will proceed to a
 determination on the basis of the proposals submitted. 
 
Please contact me immediately if you do wish to amend the proposals however.

Afternoon Tony,
 
I have been informed by the scheme architects that they have submitted details to discharge 5 in
 respect of any replacement or new windows and doors, which are the aluminium bifold doors to be
 coloured dark grey.  I understand that you have no objection to these new doors being installed in
 that dark grey colour (indeed I fail to see why you would not support that proposal).
 
Our clients propose to paint the existing timber windows in a complimentary dark grey colour, and
 have sought our advice.
 
As matters stand, my view is that our clients would be able to paint the existing windows in whatever
 colour they choose as the existing windows (and doors) are not covered by a condition (and not
 condition 5 as that relates to replacement and new windows and doors).  Whilst the site falls within a
 conservation area, this wouldn’t preclude such painting as there is no Article 4 Direction in place.
 
Hence the colour of the remaining windows is not material to the LPA discharging condition 5.
 
Indeed, the submitted CGIs showed the fenestration in such a grey colour, and the LPA were
 complimentary towards this.
 
I would be grateful for your views on this matter.
 
Regards.

Afternoon Tony,
 
You will be aware that condition 10 reads as follows:
 
Construction activities including demolition, other site works and deliveries to the site shall be
 restricted to 08.00 to 18.00 hours Monday to Friday and 09.00 to 14.00 hours on Saturday, with no
 works on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
 
My clients have relayed a clear message to the contractors that this condition must be adhered to at
 all times.
 
However, there are a couple of internal trades that do not make any noise whatsoever, which is
 internal decoration and second fixing electrical and plumbing. 
 
Our client has asked for our opinion regarding these activities (and only these activities) being carried
 out outside of the hours set out in condition 10.  There would be no radio playing and all doors and
 windows closed.  There would be no deliveries to the site.
 
In short, there would be no audible evidence outside of the property itself that work is taking place
 inside.
 
On site security is in place and would not allow vehicles to enter the site.
 
My suggestion would be to submit a S.73 application with the precise wording that we would like, and
 we can undertake this tomorrow.
 
I would very much welcome any suggestions that you may have.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Regards.
