Reserved Matters Application – Appearance and Landscaping – in relation to outline permission ref. 2017/1276 for 11 dwellings.

The Principal Planning Officer introduced the report.  He informed Members of  a ‘typo’ in paragraph 2.2 of the report on page 55 which in-correctly identified what was considered at the outline stage.  He added that for the avoidance of doubt the proposal was a reserved matters application made pursuant to outline permission 2017/1276, that the outline access, layout and scale were approved and as a result the only matters under consideration for this application were appearance and landscaping.

Reasons for Decision

The principle of the development has been established following the grant of outline permission (2017/1276). Access, layout and scale have already been approved under the aforementioned outline permission. With regards to layout and appearance submitted as this Reserved Matters application it is considered that the appearance of the proposed dwellings is acceptable in terms of design and materials and the proposed landscaping strategy is acceptable. The proposal therefore accords with Section 12 of the NPPF, Policy 10 of the ACS, Policy LPD 32, Policy LPD 35 and Policy LPD 40 of the LPD
