The Committee received a developer presentation from Kate Ives of Wates Residential.
The main issues raised by members for further consideration prior to submission of a planning application were:
· The applicant was invited to consider the housing mix and level of parking provided
· There was keenness to understand how the height, design and topography of the site would work together
· There was also a keenness to understand the local sales and marketing strategy which would be employed
· There was a wish to see the scheme ‘aiming high’ in ambition particularly given the wider context of Hilldene and Farnham Road. Similarly, there was a wish to see the ‘grand design’ for the wider area
· In relation to the wider area specifically, the applicant was invited to consider flexible ground floor uses
· A request to see information regarding the demographic profile of the local area
· A wish to see the unit mix reflecting that profile
· The relationship with the church
· The opportunity to recess any top floor
· A site visit would be welcomed
