Issue - meetings

To consider application UTT/20/0757/DFO.

The Planning Officer stated that the application related to the reserved matters following the grant of outline planning permission for the erection of 28 dwellings including 11 affordable homes, formation of new vehicular access, associated local area for play, parking and landscaping under reference UTT/18/1011/OP which had been allowed at appeal subject to conditions and entering into a Section 106 legal agreement. Layout and access had also previously been considered and the reserved matters consisted of appearance, landscaping and scale.

She outlined the proposed housing mix and said that the Affordable Housing would be split into affordable rent and Shared Ownership properties. An area of public open space was included, and a new access road would be provided with the existing access to Maranello moved further away from the B1417 junction.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

Councillor Fairhurst said that the scheme was a precedent for backland development but that officers had done a good job in respect of the securing of the landscape covering and wildlife protection. He said that the scheme was relatively acceptable and that the affordable housing was not in a cluster.

Councillor Bagnall noted that there was a condition regarding the installation of  charging points for electrical vehicles and asked whether this could this be conditioned for all properties rather than just for the ones with garages. The Development Manager said that this condition could be amended accordingly.

Councillor Fairhurst proposed a motion for approval with the additional condition.

Councillor Loughlin seconded the motion.

RESOLVED to approve the application subject to the additional condition.
