The development permitted by this planning permission shall not commence until a detailed surface water drainage scheme for the site based on sustainable drainage principles incorporating surface attenuation measures and an assessment of the hydrological and hydrogeological context of the development has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. Off site discharges should be restricted to greenfield QBAR values for all events up to and including the 1 in 100 year plus climate change event.

 

The drainage details submitted to the Local Planning Authority shall:

Amendment to Recommendation:

 

The recommendation refers to outline planning permission; this is incorrect and the reference should be to full planning permission. As such I wish to amend the recommendation as follows:

 

“That subject to the receipt of any statutory consultee party responses received prior to the expiry of the public advertisement of the partial extinguishment of the KH 276 Public Right of Way as set out above, and the prior completion of a Section 106 legal agreement in such terms as the Head of Legal Services may advise to secure the following:

 

The provision of 40% affordable residential units within the application site OR the provision of 39% affordable housing within the application site and the provision of a community facility fully fitted out for occupation and use by the Parish Council on plot 9; and

 

A contribution of £2,360.96 per ‘applicable’ house and £590.24 per ‘applicable’ flat towards the build costs of extending Harrietsham Primary School; and

 

A contribution of £148.68 per dwelling to be used to address the demand from the development towards additional book stock and services at libraries local to Harrietsham; and

A contribution of £71,028 (based on £360 per predicted occupier of market dwellings) to be prioritised firstly towards healthcare facilities at The Glebe Medical Centre, Harrietsham and then The Len Valley Medical Centre, Lenham; and

 

A contribution towards highway improvements to the A20 in Harrietsham (final amount to be confirmed); and

 

A contribution of £200 towards the improvement and maintenance of public rights of way in the vicinity of the site; and

 

The provision of land identified on drawing number 061302-WARD-PLAN2 received 20th January 2015 for public allotments and a contribution of £907.80 per dwelling towards the improvement of parks and open spaces within 1km of the proposal site OR a contribution of £1,575 per dwelling towards the improvement of parks and open spaces within 1km of the proposal site.

 

the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report:”

 

Planning Policy Update:

 

The Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee have recommended that the extent of the developed area of the proposal site be amended to accord with that of the application before Members, as discussed in paragraph 3.03 of the report on the agenda. This recommendation has subsequently been approved by Cabinet.

 

Recommendation:

Subject to the amendments set out above, my recommendation remains unchanged.
