To consider the planning applications contained in the list.
Minutes:
a) No 1 on the Plans List (19/00718/MOUT – Outline for the erection of 26 dwellings – land at NGR 270904 112818 (The Barton), Belle Vue, Chawleigh).
The Area Team Leader informed the meeting that the application had been considered at the previous meeting and it had been resolved to defer the application to allow officers to negotiate with the developer with a view to reducing the number of dwellings on the site to 20 in total. Officers had met with the applicant who did not wish to amend the number of dwellings sought and thereby wished the application to be determined on the basis of 26 dwellings.
He outlined the contents of the report by way of presentation identifying the site location plan, the access to the site and the indicative layout of the proposed dwellings and provided photographs from various aspects of the site. He highlighted the Highways Authority’s updated view within the update sheet with regard to the number of dwellings being proposed for the shared highway surface. He explained the allocation of the site within the emerging Local Plan, the lack of objection from the Lead Local Flood Authority and the Highway Authority and the need for affordable housing in the village.
Further consideration was given to:
· The views of the applicant with regard to the allocation within the emerging Local Plan for a minimum of 20 dwellings on the site with 30% affordable housing, the lack of objection from consultees and that the internal layout of the site would be dealt with under reserved matters.
· The views of the Parish Council with regard to the number of dwellings proposed on the site and that 20 dwellings had been agreed with the Parish Council, however there had been no further dialogue with regard to the increase in the number of dwellings.
· The views of the Ward Member with regard to the increase in the number of dwellings on the site above the number within the allocation and whether this would set a precedent across the district.
· The proposed project within the parish for the public open space contribution.
· Any reserved matters application would deal with the detailed proposals.
· The allocation had outlined a minimum of 20 dwellings on the site.
It was therefore:
RESOLVED that the application be deferred to allow a site visit to take place by the Planning Working Group to consider:
· The impact of the traffic from the 6 additional dwellings
· The site access
· Possible road safety issues
· The impact of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties
· The impact of the development on heritage assets
(Proposed by Cllr F W Letch and seconded by Cllr Mrs C A Collis)
