Decision:  

                                               

Noting comments made during the public speaking session from:-

 

            Sarah Hutchison - objecting

 

and that the above outline application was granted permission on 11^th October 2005, subject to a Section 106 agreement in relation to the provision of a minimum of 5 pieces of play equipment  on the site, in an identified area. 

 

It was however considered that the area shown on the approved plan was not of sufficient size to accommodate the 5 pieces of equipment and alternative methods of play provision were sought.  As an alternative it was considered that on site provision should be downgraded to provide for a small play area to remain on the site to serve toddlers, with the balance of the equipment being used to upgrade the provision on the adjacent playing fields.

 

Noting a number of objections from local residents and supporting information from play equipment manufacturers acting for the site’s developers, comments from the Parish Council as owners of the playing field; late information report circulated to Members at the meeting, including an email from the occupier of a property adjoining the site of the proposed play area, and officer comments, report of site inspection and comments made by Members at the meeting.

 

It was proposed, seconded and agreed that with regard to the open space/play equipped area required on the site of S05/0107 – Residential development at Ermine Street, Ancaster, the requirement be varied to provide for a LAP on the site and the balance to provide play equipment on the nearby Parish Council playing field, and that authority be given to enter into a Section 106 Deed of Variation.

 

It was proposed and seconded that:

 

EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC

 

IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 100A OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1972, THE PUBLIC MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM THE MEETING DURING CONSIDERATION OF THE FOLLOWING ITEM, BECAUSE OF THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OTHERWISE EXEMPT INFORMATION, AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS 1, 2, 3, 5 & 7 OF PART 1 OF SCHEDULE 12A OF THE ACT WOULD BE DISCLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

 

This proposition was approved.
