Land Off Northwick Road [actually Bank Road] Pilning South Gloucestershire

Variation of condition 3 (personal occupancy) and removal of condition 4 (site restoration) attached to planning consent P20/21006/F - Change of use from agricultural to the stationing of 2 no. touring caravans and 2 no. mobile homes (Sui Generis) as defined in the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) with the erection of 2 no. dayrooms and installation of hardstanding.

Pilning & Severn Beach Parish Council objects to application P26/01051/RVC.
The conditions the applicant seeks to vary and remove were fundamental to the acceptability of the original consent. Lifting the personal‑occupancy restriction and deleting the restoration requirement would, in effect, create a permanent and unrestricted residential/mobile‑home site in open countryside, contrary to NPPF principles and the need to protect rural character.
The site lies outside any settlement boundary, with poor access to services and limited public transport, meaning future occupiers would be heavily reliant on private vehicles. Removing the restoration condition would also permanently domesticate the land through ongoing residential paraphernalia, with no justification provided.
The Council is further concerned about intensification of use, increased vehicle movements, cumulative landscape impact, and the precedent this would set for the erosion of countryside protections.
The applicant has not demonstrated that the existing conditions are unnecessary or unreasonable.
The Council therefore objects and requests that Conditions 3 and 4 are retained in full.

SGC decision to come

Plot 9000 Land Off Western Approach Distribution Park Severn Beach South Gloucestershire BS35 4GG.

Erection of 2no. flexible industrial (Class B2) and warehouse/distribution (Class B8) buildings with associated works, with appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale to be determined (Approval of Reserved Matters to be read in conjunction with outline permission P21/01998/O (Appeal Ref. APP/P0119/W/22/3302609)).

The Parish Council objects to the Reserved Matters application on the grounds that the proposed bio‑LNG refuelling facility already represents a material intensification far beyond the B2/B8 warehouse use envisaged in the outline consent, introducing continuous 24/7 HGV activity, queuing and noise that residents could not reasonably have anticipated.
The scheme would cause unacceptable harm to residential amenity through round‑the‑clock HGV movements, engine idling, plant noise and significant light pollution, conflicting with NPPF requirements to safeguard amenity and mitigate pollution, especially at night. The large‑scale fuel infrastructure, storage tanks and extensive lighting would create a visually intrusive, industrialised site, with additional concerns about LNG safety and the reinforcement of long‑term road‑freight dependence contrary to sustainability objectives.
Further issues raised include the need to set both buildings back from the bridleway to allow meaningful landscaping, provide planting around drainage ponds, clarify fencing and gateways for the diverted Public Right of Way, confirm that all paths and the landscaped strip to Govier Way will remain public access land as per the Western Approach Masterplan, and ensure building heights do not exceed Oxford Instruments to protect existing sight‑lines.

78A Redwick Road Pilning South Gloucestershire BS35 4LU

Change of Use from dwellinghouse (Class C3) to children's home (Class C2) as defined in the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended).

Pilning & Severn Beach Parish Council objects to this planning application for the following material considerations.

Housing stock - Loss of C3 housing in an area with virtually no new housing built for decades.

Parking - the lack of adequate on-site car parking and turning arrangements for staff, visitors, and service vehicles, noting the site does not offer sufficient off-road parking for the intended use.

Flood Risk - No Flood Risk Assessment has been produced.

Location and Amenities: The location is deemed unsuitable as it is far from two primary schools and doctors, situated on a busy road with a narrow footpath, hindering the children's ability to safely develop independence (e.g., walking to the local shop).

78A Redwick Road Pilning South Gloucestershire BS35 4LU

Use of dwelling as Class C3(b) (a single household of not more than 6 residents where care is provided).

Pilning & Severn Beach Parish Council objects to this planning application for the following reason.
The planning statement provides details of visiting staff rather than permanent residents and thus the use is C2 residential institution and not C3. It is established law that children cannot live alone and thus they require carers or guardians. Where carers stay overnight but do not live permanently on site they do not form part of a household and thus the requirements of C3 are not met. A certificate of lawfulness cannot be granted.

Proper provision for truck unloading, this cannot be done on Cross Hands Road junction. The restriction of delivery times to reasonable hours due to nearby residential properties, and turning off trucks with fridges to reduce noise.

Continued use of land as a caravan site together with ancillary buildings, amenity and ancillary areas, 2no. residential dwellinghouses (use class C3) and agricultural land.

Pilning & Severn Beach Parish Council objects to this planning application.
The Council endorses what the previous owner says as being an accurate description and clarification is sought from South Glos planners that, as shown on the aerial photos, the green fields remain in agricultural use for grazing/mowing. Also we need to be clear that the area to the north of the farmhouse is used for caravan storage and so is not part of the residential area.
The Parish Council notes the anomaly of the play area and the driveway, i.e. not being within the red line, as just that, an anomaly; there for the benefit of the residents of the park homes and their visitors.

SGC decision - Non determination
