Late items:

Consultations:-

NHS England has responded to the application and have requested a contribution of £143,562.96.

Leicestershire County Council (Flooding) (Lead Local Flood Authority) required some further information which has been submitted by the applicant and have revised their comments to request three conditions relating to drainage of the site.

Leicestershire County Council (Highways) have provided amended comments to the application and raise no objections subject to several additional conditions.

Appraisal:-

Access and Highways

Leicestershire County Council (Highways) have requests nine conditions to be included. Several of these conditions are included within the committee report.

A condition has been requested which requires the development to comply with the standards of the 6 C’s document and submission of details relating to internal layout. The adoption of the road will be secured by other legislation and by LCC Highways and is therefore not considered necessary to secure this by condition.

Conditions are also requested which requires all dwellings to be within 400 metres of a bus stop and provide a plan showing this and submission of details of the internal layout of the scheme. This condition is not considered necessary as the layout is to be agreed with this application and the bus strategy will identify the bus stops which can ensure properties are within 400 metres of a bus stop.

Condition 6 and 7 of the committee report will be amalgamated following comments from LCC Highways, this condition will ensure the same requirements as the previous condition 6 and 7.

An additional condition requiring car parking to be provided and retained permanently and requirement of pedestrian visibility splays are considered reasonable and necessary to ensure highway safety within the development in accordance with Policy DM17 and DM18 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPD.

Impact upon Flood Risk

Additional figures have been submitted following a request by Leicestershire County Council (Flooding). Following this information LCC (Flooding) do not object to the application, subject to the inclusion of three conditions. The first condition requires the submission of a surface water drainage scheme; the second condition requires details regarding the phasing of the development and appropriate temporary

measures to be details where necessary; and the third requires the submission of surface water discharge details. These conditions will ensure that measure are taken to ensure appropriate drainage for both the construction phase and at completion and are therefore relevant and necessary.

This would result in 16.54 hours patient appointment time per week for a consulting room and 4.41 patient appointment time per week for a treatment room.
