The Committee had before it a report * of the Head of Planning and Regeneration to consider proposed changes to the S106 agreement entered into in relation to this planning permission.
The Head of Planning and Regeneration outlined the contents of the report stating that the Planning Committee agreed the Heads of Terms and that the amendments requested by the developer related to the finer details of the precise wording worked up by officers. She outlined the headline proposed amendments:
· With regard to the Gypsy and Travellers site, she felt that it was appropriate to move the trigger for occupation from 200 dwellings to 260 dwellings in so far that it left a balance of 70 dwellings of market dwellings to be occupied after the Gypsy and Traveller pitches were in place, there being a sufficient number of dwellings remaining that the development would not cease.
· She felt is also appropriate to look at the timing of the financial contributions proposed as this meant that some of the contributions would come forward earlier than originally proposed.
· The Council was proposed to be the affordable housing provider and therefore an amendment be made to discharge market housing developers from all affordable housing requirements upon completion of the Councils land purchase of part of the site. There was also an amendment sought by the applicant to terms in the event that the Council did not purchase the land.
Consideration was given to:
· Whether the Gypsy and Traveller pitches would remain on the site for the time being;
· The construction traffic route for the development
RESOLVED that
(Proposed by Cllr P J Heal and seconded by Cllr B A Moore)
