Agenda and minutes

The proposal before Members was for the demolition of two existing detached garages and the construction of a 2-storey building consisting of 3 x 1 bedroom apartments, with associated car parking and amenity space to the side and rear.

With its agreement Councillor Durant addressed the Committee.

Councillor Durant sought and received clarification that consultation letters had been sent to neighbouring residents. Councillor Durant commented that there had been a previous application for a bungalow on the site which appeared more suitable than the larger scheme that was being proposed now. Councillor Durant concluded that the proposal was an over development of the site.

During a brief debate Members sought and received clarification of the fenestration arrangements of the proposed building. Members also discussed the Environmental Agency’s objection to the proposal on the basis of the submitted Flood Risk Assessment.

Members noted that the proposal qualified for a Mayoral CIL payment of £3,800 and RESOLVED that the proposal was unacceptable as it stood but would be acceptable subject to the applicant entering into a Section 106 Legal Agreement under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), to secure the following:

•           A financial contribution of £18,000 to be used for educational purposes 

•           All contribution sums shall include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.

•           The Developer/Owner pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs in association with the preparation of a legal agreement, prior to completion of the agreement, irrespective of whether the legal agreement is completed.

•           The Developer/Owner to pay the appropriate planning obligation/s monitoring fee prior to completion of the agreement.

That the Head of Regulatory Services be authorised to enter into a legal agreement to secure the above and upon completion of that agreement, grant planning permission subject to the conditions as set out in the report and the Environment Agency's outstanding objection being resolved.  In the event that the objection cannot be satisfactorily resolved then authority was also delegated to refuse the application on the grounds of flood risk.

The proposal before Members was for the erection of 20 flats on top of the existing Hexagon House building.

During a brief debate Members discussed the lack of additional parking offered by the applicant even though the proposal was an expansion of a previously agreed application.

The Committee noted that the development proposed qualified for a Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contribution of £19,900 and RESOLVED that the proposal was unacceptable as it stood but would be acceptable subject to the applicant entering into a Section 106 Legal Agreement under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), to secure the following:

•      A financial contribution of £240,000 towards affordable housing.

•      A financial contribution of £120,000 to be used for educational purposes.

•      Save for the holders of blue badges that any future occupiers of the development be prevented from applying for and purchasing parking permits for their own vehicles for any existing, revised or new permit controlled parking scheme.

•      All contribution sums shall include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.

•      The Developer/Owner pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs in association with the preparation of a legal agreement, prior to completion of the agreement, irrespective of whether the legal agreement is completed.

•      The Developer/Owner to pay the appropriate planning obligation/s monitoring fee prior to completion of the agreement.
