Report of the Head of Planning and Regulation

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Head of Planning and Regulation detailing the above application for Residential development for the construction of seven 3-bedroom houses and five 4-bedroom houses, new access road, parking and landscaping and alterations to No.61 Ansty Road.  The report updated the Committee on the contribution amount and conditions approved by the Committee in December 2018.

 

Planning Committee had originally considered this application on 13th December 2018 and the Committee minutes record that it was: ‘Resolved that the grant of planning permission in respect of Application FUL/2018/2717 be delegated to the Head of Planning and Regulatory Services subject to the conditions listed in the report and the completion of a S106 Agreement to secure the contributions listed within the report’. The previous Committee Report was appended to the report submitted for information.

 

The report indicated that the legal agreement was never signed due to issues of land ownership and the decision was therefore never issued. More recently the applicant has been able to complete on the legal agreement; however, given the amount of time that has passed, Officers have re-consulted relevant consultees to determine whether contribution amounts previously agreed in December 2018 have altered. The contributions listed within the original December 2018 Committee report have increased and were detailed in the report.

 

RESOLVED that the grant of planning permission be delegated to the Head of Planning and Regulatory Services, subject to conditions and the completion of the S106 Legal Agreement to secure the contributions listed within the report.
