Outline Application: The erection of up to 150 dwellings (including affordable housing) with public open space, landscaping, sustainable drainage system (SuDS) and vehicular access point. All matters reserved except for means of access.

 

Due regard was given to the determining issues and conditions as detailed in the report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health, with particular attention given to the concerns raised by the public speakers and due consideration given to the Borough Council’s latest housing land supply position (3.97 years) against the five-year housing land supply requirement set by the Government.  In addition, general comments were made in respect of the NHS Integrated Care Board liaising closely with GP practices to ensure mitigation measures were put in place to address the additional pressures on local general practice services resulting from the increase in patient numbers arising from new developments.

 

RESOLVED:  That planning permission be GRANTED in accordance with the submitted details, conditions, reasons and informatives set out in the report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health.

 

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 8.6, Part 4 (Rules) of the Constitution, Councillors Banks, Boxall, Dean, Roud and Tatton requested that it be recorded in the Minutes that they had voted against approval of the planning application.
