Vincent Pearce, Principal Planning Officer, in introducing this item, referred to the information contained in the Addendum and as circulated at the meeting.
As referred to in the agenda, Paper PL/17/40 (published for the meeting on 9 May 2018) was withdrawn from consideration at that meeting because of the receipt of a late legal representation. The Principal Planning Officer confirmed that PL/17/40, now re-presented for consideration by Committee, was unchanged from the previously published report. However, as set out in the Addendum, the reference to the Education and Pre-Schooling contributions has been expanded with a consequential amendment to the recommendation.
The Corporate Manager – Growth and Sustainable Planning informed Members that the Case Officer, Steven Stroud (currently on leave), had received an email overnight from Historic England confirming that HE did not wish to make any further points from those already submitted.
During the course of the consideration of this item, the Planning Officer and the Corporate Manager responded to questions about various aspects of the proposal including CIL and Section 106 tests, parking standards, definition of degrees of harm, access and landscaping. Colin Bird, Suffolk County Council Highways, clarified the highways position regarding consideration of various access proposals for the area including roundabouts.
As a result of Members’ consideration, the officer recommendation (as amended) was moved with the inclusion of an additional condition to secure parking standards compliance.
