Issue - meetings

To consider application UTT/21/2465/DFO.

The Senior Planning Officer presented the application which considered the details following outline approval UTT/17/3426/OP (approved under appeal APP/C1570/W/19/3227368) for extra care housing together with associated infrastructure including road, drainage, and access - details of appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale.

This revised scheme aimed to address the previous refusal issues.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

Members made the following comments and observations: -

• The design had improved, the developer had listened and there were several good green initiatives.
• A cut through to Tesco’s could not be conditioned but a conversation with the Developer would be had and this was a logical action to take.
• The mechanically assisted ventilation with heat recovery needed to have Individual heating systems for each dwelling to avoid polluted air circulating to other properties.  This would be picked up by Building Control.
• A condition for substantial trees along the front including removal and replacement of damaged trees.
• A condition added to remove the permitted development rights for the bungalows.
• A pedestrian crossing on Radwinter Road was covered in the outline permission.
• The bungalows differed in style to the apartment blocks, could they be more in line with the apartment design.

Councillor Fairhurst proposed that the application be approved, with conditions regarding the trees and permitted development rights for the Bungalows to be removed.  This was seconded by Councillor Freeman.

RESOLVED to approve the application with the additional conditions: -

R Butler (agent) spoke in favour of the application.
