Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Team Leader on behalf of the Head of Planning & City Regeneration presented a report which outlined the previous decision of the Committee regarding the granting of residential development at the above location subject to a Section 106 agreement, the details of which were detailed in the report.

 

Copies of the original planning committee report were appended for information.

 

Section 1.7 of the report (page 59) refers to the Planning Committee report and Action Sheet of the 4th April 2017 being attached as Appendix B. However, these documents had erroneously not been attached as an appendix to the item report. Copies of these documents were circulated to members of the Planning Committee prior to the commencement of the meeting.

 

Report updated as follows:

The final line of section 3.1 of the report (page 60) should be amended to read as follows;

 

“And in accordance with the conditions set out in Appendix A, with the exception of Condition 3, which should be amended to make reference to the amended site plan submitted as part of this application (Drwg No 1107-TP01 Rev B – Existing Site Plan, received 21st July 2017).”

 

A late letter of objection has also been received from a resident living on Glebe Road) objecting to the application on the following summarised grounds:

Glebe Road cannot support the additional traffic that will be generated by the proposed development. There already is insufficient parking for residents of Glebe Road and the road is already dangerous. The additional traffic generated by the proposal will make the area surrounding the entrance to the site a danger to local residents.

 

A visual presentation was provided.

 

Councillor R V Smith (Local Member) addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application subject to the terms of the Section 106 agreement not being amended from those contained in the original approval.

 

RESOLVED that the application be APPROVED subject to a SECTION 106 agreement to provide:

·          15% of affordable housing (AH) on the site; comprising a 50/50 mix of 2 and 3 bedroom properties provided at 42% ACG, of social rented tenure and DQR compliant. The design and specification of the AH should be of equivalent quality to those used in the Open Market Units;
