Additional documents: Minutes:
The Case Officer, Steven Stroud, referred to the date of the SCC Highways comments at the bottom of page 5 of Paper PL/17/22 which should read ‘10.12.15’ (not 10.12.17).
Members in discussing the application were aware that the key issue was the need to balance the benefits to the village as a whole with the identified harm to heritage assets. The Case Officer referred to the independent highway advice set out in the letter and Appendices from civil and traffic engineering consultants GH Bullard & Associates LLP (as attached to the officer report) which had been sought in view of the conflicting advice received at different times from SCC Highways officers.
The officer recommendation for refusal for the reasons set out in the report was proposed and seconded, with the suggestion that a further reason for refusal relating to highway safety might be appropriate. However the officer advice that the consultants’ view did not support a reason for refusal on highway grounds was accepted. The officer recommendation as set out in Paper PL/17/22 was lost on being put to the vote.
A proposal to grant permission was then moved on the basis that the benefits of the affordable housing substantially outweigh any harm which may be caused to a rear view of heritage assets. The proposed development was considered to accord with policies CA11, CS15 and CS19 of the Core Strategy and saved policies HS28 and CN06 of the Local Plan. The motion for the grant of permission took into account suggested conditions, together with the options put forward by the Legal Adviser, Ian De Prez, for securing the affordable housing element.
RESOLVED
That the Corporate Manager – Growth and Sustainable Planning be authorised to grant Planning Permission subject to the prior completion of a Section 106 or Undertaking on terms to his satisfaction to secure the following heads of terms:
· Affordable housing (if not secured by condition):
and that such permission be subject to conditions including:-
· Standard time limit · Details of materials · As required by LHA · As required by SCC Archaeology – scheme of investigation and assessment · As recommended by the Arboricultural Officer · Contamination – condition on ground gases · To secure the provision of the affordable housing element as offered by the applicant (if not secured by a Section 106 or Undertaking)
