During questions to Public Speakers, Members commented on:

 

·       Whether the Applicant had any concerns regarding the incursion onto the A15 road. It was queried whether the entry access would be inside the 30mph speed limit or not.

 

The Applicant confirmed that the 30mph zone would be extended North to ensure the entrance would be within that zone.

 

·       It was queried whether the pond would be able to cope with high amounts of rainfall.

 

The Applicant’s engineers had assured them that the site had been designed on a 100-year flood risk basis. It was further confirmed that all dwellings proposed would have solar panels.

 

·       What form of heating systems was proposed for the dwellings.

 

It was clarified that condensing gas boilers would be used for larger properties and combi boilers may be installed into the smaller properties.

 

The Assistant Director for Planning reminded the Committee that the application was reserved matters and the principle of development had been agreed.

 

During questions to Officers and debate, Members commented on:

 

·       That the Parish Council had raised concerns of foul water drainage.

 

The Planning Officer highlighted that foul water drainage had previously been approved in a condition relating to the outline planning permission.

 

Members were pleased with the access and footpath from the development.

 

It was queried whether a key view across to the church had been included within the layout of the site.

 

The Planning Officer confirmed that the development included a central road through the centre of the development, whereby a view of the church would be seen. It was added that the informal space to the north-east to the site would also provide a view of the church. 

 

·       Concern was raised on the southern boundary up to the high street and whether there was scope around the inclusion of a safety feature, due to an incline in the footpath.

 

It was noted that any safety feature would restrict vehicular access that needed to be retained at the site entrance. Highways had stated that a safety feature would not be a requirement for the development access.

 

It was proposed, seconded and AGREED that a condition be included that a safety feature be included on the path/cycleway prior to first occupation.

 

It was proposed, seconded and AGREED to authorise the Assistant Director – Planning to GRANT planning permission, subject to conditions:
