Agenda and draft minutes

That Application DC/20/03704 be approved as detailed in the officer recommendation with the additions as detailed below:

-        Condition for biodegradeable treeguards

Informative Note:

The Committee, in approving these Reserved Matters, noted the significant concerns of adjacent residents regarding surface water flooding risks and in particular the need to ensure that surface water drainage is not impeded by Old Norwich Road. 

The Committee expects the applicant to work with the local planning authority and the lead flood authority to ensure that any surface water drainage arrangements for SuDS do not have any adverse impact upon surface water flooding in the locality. 

The Committee requests Officers of the local planning authority to work with local highway authority to  [a] establish whether any culvert under Old Norwich road exists and requires management or maintenance in order to prevent the backing up of surface water and  related surface water flooding risks or whether such a culvert should be provided [b] establish whether cycle crossing and shared cycle / footway provision can be made at the roundabout and estate road junction [c] the provision of ANPR infrastructure for the busgate 

The Committee moreover notes the approach to the sustainability of design taken by the applicant and strongly encourages the applicant to take account of the Councils direction of travel for this set out in draft policy LP25 of the draft Joint Local Plan and its expectations that all applicants will recognise the importance of improving sustainability measures in new house design in future applications.
