Members received further information that the City Council’s Planning Viability Consultant had advised that the viability of the development was threatened by the scale of the obligations. Having negotiated on the affordable housing contribution, the recommendation to Members was that there were now insufficient grounds to justify refusing the variation to the legal agreement, and that in accordance with national advice, Officers reluctantly were recommending approval based upon viability evidence. The Section 106 shall be varied to amend the affordable housing provision and tenure to provide 4 x 2-bedroom intermediate units. In doing so, it is accepted that the Public Open Space and Education contributions are omitted from the Obligation.
It was proposed by Councillor Helen Helme and seconded by Councillor Susan Sykes:
“That the application be approved.”
Upon being put to the vote, 12 Members voted in favour of the proposition with 2 abstained, whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.
Resolved:
That the application be approved in principle and delegated to the Chief Officer (Regeneration and Planning) to execute the deed of variation.
