Agenda item

A site visit was held in respect of this item on 12^th August 2019 (item 40 (2019-20) refers).

Under the scheme of public participation, Jane Ruscoe, Alistair J Eagles, Councillor John Reynolds, and Councillor Peter Yates all spoke in favour of the application.

It was proposed by Councillor Mel Guilding and seconded by Councillor Janice Hanson:

“That Outline Planning Permission be granted but the Planning Manager be given delegated authority to draft the conditions to be attached to the Outline Planning Permission”

The proposal was contrary to the case officer’s recommendation and the following reason was given for the proposal:  

The site is a suitable location for employment use because of its transport links and the development in this location would prevent the need for vehicles to pass through the Air Quality Management Area, which outweighs any conflict with the Development Plan.   

Upon being put to the vote, 13 Members voted in favour of the proposition, with 1 against, and 1 abstention, whereupon the Chair declared the proposal to be carried.

Resolved:

That Outline Planning Permission be granted but the Planning Manager be given delegated authority to draft the conditions to be attached to the Outline Planning Permission addressing the following:

1.            Outline timescales.

2.            Submission of reserved matters.

3.            Provision of surface water drainage scheme.

4.            Provision of surface water management system.

5.            On site renewable measures and all development to meet BREEAM Excellent or Equivalent.

6.            Car Parking Management Strategy.

7.            Covered cycle storage and showers.

8.            Service, delivery, waste collection, routing and operation management strategy.

9.            Provision of a Business Travel Plan.

10.          Restriction on floor area of development.

11.          Air Quality Mitigation.

12.          Ecology Mitigation – Including the prevention of the de-culverting of the brook.

13.          Access Details.

14.          De-regularising the A601 (M).

The Case Officer then advised the Committee that in view of its decision on the Outline Application his recommendation would be that planning permission be granted on the full application, subject to appropriate conditions as outlined to the Committee by the Case Officer.
