The Committee considered the urgent update report of the Head of Planning.  The representative of the Head of Legal Services informed Members that earlier that afternoon the Head of Legal Services had advised that matters relating to this application should be dealt with by way of a full report.

MINUTE 309 - MA/12/1989 - OUTLINE APPLICATION FOR THE ERECTION OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL WITH ACCESS TO BE DETERMINED AT THIS STAGE WITH APPEARANCE, LANDSCAPING, LAYOUT AND SCALE RESERVED FOR SUBSEQUENT APPROVAL - NEW LINE LEARNING ACADEMY, BOUGHTON LANE, MAIDSTONE, KENT

The Committee considered the urgent update report of the Head of Planning recommending that the heads of terms of the S106 legal agreement in relation to this application be varied to enable the contribution of £29,250 to be used for bus corridor improvements on the A229 Loose Road rather than as previously agreed towards the provision of a dedicated bus lane along the A229 Loose Road between its junction with the A274 Sutton Road and Armstrong Road.  The representative of the Head of Planning explained that this amendment would provide more flexibility in the delivery of highway mitigation measures.

Councillor Chittenden said that since he had stated previously that he had pre-determined application MA/12/1989, he would speak, but not vote on this matter.

RESOLVED:  That agreement be given to the variation of the heads of terms of the S106 legal agreement in relation to application MA/12/1989 to enable the contribution of £29,250 to be used for bus corridor improvements on the A229 Loose Road rather than as previously agreed towards the provision of a dedicated bus lane along the A229 Loose Road between its junction with the A274 Sutton Road and Armstrong Road.
