The Development Manager updated Members in respect of additional information received from Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) since the publication of the report, which resulted in the figure for the bus stop contribution referenced in paragraphs 4.9 and 14.2 increasing from £41,400 to £43,800. He added that NCC also sought a contribution of £157,500 towards bus service contribution; however, the threshold for seeking the contribution, 100 dwellings, was not met by the current application. He added that NCC also sought an additional condition in respect of providing introductory bus passes to occupiers, but such measures would be dealt with via the Travel Plan to be approved under condition 12.

He added that the Ecologist had also identified the need for an additional condition in respect of badgers as outlined below:

Condition:

27   No more than three months prior to the commencement of development, including any clearance works, a badger survey of the site will be completed and a badger mitigation strategy submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. Thereafter all recommendations set out in the mitigation strategy will be implemented. Should a Natural England licence be required, evidence that the required licence is in place shall also be provided to the Local Planning Authority prior to commencement of works.

Reason:

27   To conserve and enhance the site for biodiversity in accordance with relevant wildlife legislation, the National Planning Policy Framework, Aligned Core Strategy Policy 17 and Local Plan Policy LPD 18.

He then went on to introduce the report.

Members of the committee proposed an additional condition (28), to ensure that any windows fitted to the first-floor side elevation of plot 61 should be frosted, that the openers would need to be 1.7 meters above floor level and that the final wording of the condition and associated reason be delegated to the Assistant Director – Development in consultation with the Chair, which was carried unanimously.
