Deferred for investigation of:
The safety issues relating to the collection and drop-off of children in a narrow lane (at busy periods) and the highways issues caused by an increase in vehicle movements as a result of the wider catchment area for this type of school.

The need for this development – the area is not understood to have been identified as having a need for infant/primary school facilities.

Deferred until the next meeting to enable the Officers to ask the applicant if they would be willing to amend the scheme to secure the following:
The retention of the hedgerow on the North Street frontage and including the field margin, which area should include an open SUDS feature;
The relocation of the proposed footway to behind this area; to be a shared surface with no access drives created onto North Street;
The houses may move back slightly, but would be the
same density, design and orientation;
The landscaping mix to include species native to Barming; and
The inclusion of renewables and bat/bird bricks in the development.
The scheme is to be reported back to the next meeting of the Committee either to confirm that it will be amended to accommodate these changes or for Members to make a decision on it as it stands. |
