Minutes:

The Committee had before it * report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration regarding the above application.

The Area Planning Officer outlined the contents of the report highlighting by way of presentation the location of the proposal to the southern section of the site; this was a hybrid application which also considered a full application for part of the site containing the road link into the neighbouring land parcel over the existing bridleway, and the Pegasus bridleway crossing over the new link road.  The latter was provided in detail to ensure alignment with the adjacent section of the road, where it crossed into a separate application site.  She highlighted the illustrative plan and provided photographs from various location looking into the site.

Consideration was given to:

·         Whether there would be any ransom strips and whether the road would join up, the officer stated that non-ransom provisions were to be included within the S106 agreement, it was intended to build the road all in one go and the road would be 6.5 metres wide.

·         Whether the link road would be accessible from the estate

·         Maintenance issues

·         The views of the Town Council with regard to the houses facing onto the link road in the illustrative diagram: this would be addressed within the reserved matters

·         The view of the applicant with regard to the delivery of the road.

 

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to: the prior signing of a Section 106 agreement and conditions as recommended by the Head of Planning Economy and Regeneration.

(Proposed by the Chairman)

Notes

i)             Cllr Smith (Cullompton Town Council ) spoke;

 

ii)            Mr Turner, the applicant spoke;

 

iii)          Further response from South West Water dated 12th April 2019

 

As a result of changes to our charging policy introduced in April this year which has increased the connection charges in relation to new developments any improvements required to upgrade our infrastructure are to be funded by South West Water and not developers.

 

In view of this the request for  planning conditions as stated in my response to the application are no longer required as improvements to the foul drainage network  will be delivered by South West Water to ensure the development can be supported without detriment to the public foul drainage systems.

 

Condition 25 should therefore be deleted.

 

Condition 20: At the request of the applicant, the first line of the condition should be amended as follows:

 

“No dwelling part of the development hereby approved shall be commenced until:”

The Highway Authority has agreed this change and your officers consider this amendment to be reasonable.

 

Condition 22: At the request of the applicant, the condition should be amended as follows:

 

No development above slab level shall take place shall commence until a scheme for electric vehicle charging points has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  The electric vehicle charging points shall be installed in accordance with the approved scheme prior to first occupation of the relevant dwelling.

 

Again, your officers consider this amendment to be reasonable.

 

Additional conditions for ‘full’ part of hybrid application

 

The application is in two parts: outline for the majority of the site, and full for the part of the link road connecting into the neighbouring land parcel (Persimmon Homes), the full part of the application is subject to a different commencement condition.  There is also a need to ensure the plans relating to the full part of the application are identified as the approved details, rather than being subject to the reserved matters application/s.  Two additional conditions are recommended.

 

Additional condition 1:

 

The development within the land outlined in red on drawing number 1006.P.002 Rev B hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. 

Reason: In accordance with provisions of Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 as this relates to the ‘full’ rather than ‘outline’ part of the application.

 

Additional condition 2

 

The development of the section of road and bridleway crossing within the land outlined in red on drawing number 1006.P.002 Rev B shall be in accordance with drawing numbers 9158-GA-005 Rev P03, 432-100-01 Rev B, 432-200-01 and 432-200-02, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure the development is constructed in accordance with the approved details.
