To defer the application to officers for approval subject to securing a legal agreement for the provision of 18% affordable housing on site (split 70% affordable rent and 30% shared ownership) and planning obligations as set out in this report, and safeguarding conditions outlined at Annex 1, updated to reflect the new Local Plan with the addition of two conditions requiring new development to meet the technical standards outlined in the new Local Plan:

-  The development hereby permitted shall be constructed in order to meet the required technical standard for water efficiency of 110litres/person/day, thereby Part G2 Part 36 (2b) of Schedule 1 Regulation 36 to the Building Regulations 2010, as amended, applies.

 

During debate, Members noted the reduction in affordable housing based on viability.

 

Further to debate, the motion was WITHDRAWN by the Chairman at the request of the Planning Officer, so that renegotiations could be undertaken to address Members concerns before the report can be brought back to committee.

 

It was then proposed by the Chairman, and seconded by the Vice Chairman:

 

THAT the officer’s recommendation be adopted, namely:

 

Defer to officers to negotiate with the applicant for an increase in the amount of affordable housing proposed, and report back for decision by the Planning Committee, including potential reasons for refusal.

 

This motion was proposed by the Chairman, seconded by the Vice Chairman and put to a recorded vote, after which it was CARRIED.
