The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development. In introducing the report, the Development Manager said that he wished to amend recommended condition 24 to refer to application 13/1687, the correct outline consent.

RESOLVED: That consideration of this application be deferred for further discussions to include:
An analysis of the catchment area of the School to better define focus/scope of the Travel Plan.
An investigation of alternative traffic access options including, but not limited to, use of the existing maintenance access to the southeast corner of the site to eliminate the need for the roundabout and loss of TPO/Veteran/High Grade trees.
The scope of the Travel Plan including the financial contribution package to achieve modal shift.
Design quality in terms of both landscape and built form, including an improved materials palette (use of a panel system and possibly ragstone plinths).
The requirement for a Landscape Master Plan to address the key issues for this historic landscape.
