Additional documents: Minutes: The committee considered application P17/V2502/RM for the access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of a development for 38 dwellings, including up to 13 affordable dwellings, with associated parking, amenity space and public open space on land at Challow Park, East Challow.
Consultations, representations, policy and guidance and the site’s planning history were detailed in the officer’s report which formed part of the agenda pack for this meeting.
Andrew Smith spoke in support of the application.
In response to questions raised by the committee, the officers reported that: · The Forestry Officer had recommended either a reduction in the size or complete removal of the diseased Beech tree on adjacent land, which would otherwise constrain development of the site. The council had no liability if the committee approved the application; the Beech tree was civil matter between the developer and tree’s owner · The cluster of 13 affordable homes on the site was within the council’s design guide and in accordance with the section 106 agreement as part of the outline permission · the planning conditions and s106 agreement for the outline permission would remain applicable. · Unless covered by the outline permission, a condition should be added to approve a construction traffic management plan. [N.B. Following the meeting it was established that a construction traffic management condition had been included with the outline permission and therefore did not need to be added to the reserved matters approval.]
A motion, moved and seconded, to approve the application was declared carried on being put to the vote.
