Minutes:

CouncillorStorah left the room for consideration of this item.

 

The Development Management Team Leader gave a summary of the report which recommended approval of reserved matters following the granting of outline planning

permission for the development of up to 150 dwellings (Use Class C3) with all matters reserved except access (UTT/18/0824/OP).

 

Members expressed concern about the design of the development with regard to its provision of green space for amenity use.

 

Councillor Fairhurst proposed refusal of the application.

 

Councillor Pavitt seconded this motion.

 

                        RESOLVED to refuse the application for the following reason:

 

The details of the proposed development fails to provide sufficient or adequate greenspace and amenity space, with a play area which is poorly located resulting in an unacceptably designed scheme, contrary to Policy GEN2 of the Uttlesford Local Plan (adopted 2005) and the NPPF.

 

CouncillorStorah returned to the room.

 

 

P Gadd and C Willams spoke on this application.
