Variation of condition 1 (Specified Layout & Form) in application P19/V1269/FUL. There is a need to change the parameter plans and thus condition 1 is required to be amended.
Minutes:
The committee considered application P21/V2544/FUL for the variation of condition 1 (Specified Layout & Form) in application P19/V1269/FUL, on land north of A417 and east of A338, Wantage. There was a need to change the parameter plans and thus condition 1 was required to be amended.
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 the meeting.
The planning officer informed the committee that the countryside officer had made comments on the reduced amount of woodland planting, swale and retained hedgerow on the western corner of the development in relation to the water main. However, planning officers considered the change to be acceptable and not significantly visually harmful. The planning officer concluded that the application was recommended for approval subject to conditions.
Nicky Brock, the agent, spoke in support of the application. Ms. Brock in response to a question regarding vegetation, explained that replacement planting would not be required as a result of the changes proposed. Ms. Brock also added that the landscaping officer had raised no objection when assessing the application.
Councillor Jenny Hannaby, local ward member, spoke to the application. In response to a query on the stance of the ward member regarding the application, Councillor Hannaby confirmed she had no objections to the application.
The committee asked two questions, with the first being on whether Thames Water had expressed any changes of view towards this application compared to its predecessor. The planning officer answered that there had been no response from Thames Water, and they were content with the view that no response could be interpreted as no objection to the new application. The second question sought clarification on the condition which related to a required footway link during the first phase. The planning officer explained that the footway was now already on the site and led to council owned land and was therefore completed, and they had thus removed the condition, as it was no longer required.
A motion moved and seconded, to grant planning permission was declared carried on being put to the vote.
