Issue - meetings

Full application for 16 new bungalows.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval. 

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Head of Planning (CB) in respect of the application. 

Tim Snow, the agent on behalf of the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Nicholls, seconded by Councillor Hones and unanimously RESOLVED that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to grant outline planning permission for the development, subject to:

a) Within six months of the date of the Committee’s resolution to approve, the completion of a legal agreement under the provisions of Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 dealing with the following matters (where relevant):

·         On-site Council Housing/Affordable Housing;

·         On-site or off-site open space/play equipment.

b) Planning conditions in accordance with those set out in (i) below (but with such amendments and additions, if any, to the detailed wording thereof as the Head of Planning (or the equivalent authorised officer) in their discretion considers appropriate).

(i) Conditions:

1. Standard 3 year time limit for commencement;

2. Accordance with approved plans;

3. Highways conditions (as recommended by the Highway Authority);

4. Ecological mitigation/enhancement plan;

5. Surface water drainage/foul drainage scheme;

6. SuDS maintenance/monitoring plan;

7. Hard and soft landscaping plan/implementation;

8. Details of lighting, materials and refuse storage/collection points;

9. Broadband connection; and

10. Contaminated land.

c) That the Head of Planning (or the equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to refuse planning permission in the event that such legal agreement has not been completed within the period of six months, as the requirements necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms had not been secured through a Section 106 planning obligation.
