Agenda item

Outline planning application for residential development for up to 120 dwellings and associated development (including public open space, engineering works, drainage, internal roads, paths and parking) with all matters reserved excluding access.

Helen Ashworth of Northern Trust, the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Principal Planning Officer informed Members of some minor amendments to the conditions within the report to reflect that the development could come forward in a phased manner.  This would impact conditions 12, 13 and 20 with reference to ‘phase by phase’ inserted into conditions 12 and 13 and ‘within the relevant phase’ to condition 20.

At condition 3, the list of approved drawings should also be amended in respect of the Design and Access Statement in that it should read ‘The submission of reserved matters shall also have regard to the design principles set out in the Design and Access Statement’.

In addition, condition 7 should have the phrase ‘necessary to serve that dwelling’ inserted to ensure that the drive to serve the particular dwelling is in situ rather than all drives.

In all other respects, the conditions were intended to remain as drafted.
