Appeal Bundle

Soundproofing (Traffic): No development shall commence until a scheme for protecting
any residential units of the development from noise generated by traffic or other external
sources, has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. All
works that form part of the scheme shall be completed before any part of the noise sensitive
development is occupied. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the submitted scheme shall
demonstrate that the maximum internal noise levels in bedrooms and living rooms in
residential properties post construction will be 30 dB LAeq T (where T is 23:00 - 07:00) and
35 dB LAeq T (where T is 07:00 - 23:00). Noise from individual external events typical to the
area shall not exceed 45dB LAmax when measured in bedrooms and living rooms internally
between 23:00 and 07:00, post construction. Noise levels in gardens and public open
spaces shall not exceed 55 dB LAeq 1 hr when measured at any period.

Reason: To safeguard the amenity of neighbouring residents.

Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP) "Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive
Light" (GN01:2011) for zone E2. Thereafter the approved installation shall be maintained
and operated in accordance with zone E2 requirements unless the Local Planning Authority
gives its written consent to a variation.

Reason: To protect the amenity of local residents

Please find below comments on the above application. Please read these in conjunction with
my comments on the previous application DM/18/1548, also added below, for your
convenience.

This application represents a revision of a previous scheme for development on the site,
planning permission for which was refused on numerous grounds on 11th March 2019. The
application site is within the setting of Grade II listed Camden Cottage, which is situated on
the opposite (north) side of Lewes Road; however the previous proposal was considered, for
reasons given at the time, not to detract from the setting of that listed building. Although the
layout of the proposed development as well as its detailed design have been revised, the
impact on the setting of Camden Cottage is not considered to be materially altered.

For the reasons given in relation to the previous proposal DM/18/1548 I consider that the
proposal will not harm the setting of the nearby heritage asset. This will meet the
requirements of District Plan Policy DP34 and the relevant paragraphs of the NPPF.
