Minutes:

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

In introducing the application, the Principal Planning Officer said that she wished to add another Head of Term to the recommendation to secure four affordable units at 80% of Market Rent or Open Market Value as this had been omitted by mistake.

The Head of Planning and Development advised the Committee that there was a current deficit in supply of Extra Care units in the Borough and weight should be given to that as a material planning consideration in the determination of the application.

Mr Razzell, for objectors, and Mr Blythin, agent for the applicant, addressed the meeting in person.

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 and the urgent update report and the additional Head of Term referred to by the Principal Planning Officer when introducing the application; and

B. The conditions and informatives set out in the report, as amended by the urgent update report, with the amendment of condition 12 (Landscape Scheme) and amended informative 1 (Landscape Details) to reflect Members’ requirement that the landscape scheme shall comprise 100% native species,

the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission and to be able to settle or amend any necessary Heads of Terms and planning conditions and informatives in line with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by the Planning Committee.
