Minutes:

The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development.

 

In presenting the application, the Principal Planning Officer advised the Committee that the developer had submitted an alternative layout showing the clubhouse more centrally located within the site.  The developer still believed the original location to be preferable, but both options remained on the table for consideration.

 

The representative of the Head of Legal Partnership read out statements on behalf of Boughton Monchelsea Parish Council and Mr Chapman, for the applicant.

 

RESOLVED:  That subject to:

 

A.  The prior completion of a legal agreement in such terms as the Head of Legal Partnership may advise to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the report with (a) the amendment of the second Heads of Terms to specify that the off-site open space contribution shall be spent at Salts Farm or other natural/semi-natural areas of accessible public open space within 3 km (rather than 1 km) of the development and (b) the amendment of the fourth Heads of Terms to specify that occupation of the units shall be by persons of 55 years of age and over; AND

 

B.  The conditions and informatives set out in the report with:

 

(a)  An additional condition requiring the submission of a construction management plan; and

(b)  The amendment of condition 12 (Landscaping Scheme) to specify that the landscaping scheme shall exclude the planting of Sycamore trees,

 

the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission on the basis of the alternative location for the clubhouse and to be able to settle or amend any necessary Heads of Terms in line with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by the Planning Committee and to finalise the wording of all amended and additional conditions as appropriate.
