Application for demolition of garage and erection of 5 dwellings with access and provision of community orchard.
Late items:
Introduction:-
Following publication of the main agenda report, the agent has submitted additional comments in support of the application relating to the adopted Core Strategy policy position, housing land supply and the economic benefits of the scheme.
With reference paragraph 8.7 of the main agenda report and to the adopted policy position and housing land supply, the agent considers that the application is not presented against and does not rely upon a housing land supply consideration. This is because Policy 7 of the adopted Core Strategy supports housing development within the settlement boundaries of 'Key Rural Centres' (including Stoke Golding). The requirements of Policy 7 stand aside of the requirements of Policy 11. Accordingly, Policy 7 does not provide a minimum housing requirement for housing development within the settlement boundary.
With reference to paragraph 8.37 of the main agenda report, the agent seeks to emphasise the quantified economic benefits of the scheme as submitted within the Planning Statement (paragraph 5.16):
An amended Soft Landscaping Plan and an amended Landscaping Management Plan have been submitted. The amendments seek to include fruit tree varieties already found within the site and take into account comments of the borough council's Tree Officer.
Consultations:-
An additional objection has been received relating to housing land supply, residential development numbers within Stoke Golding and the adopted policy position and spatial vision of the Core Strategy and Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (SADMP) DPD. The additional objection reiterates that the Council can currently demonstrate a five year housing land supply, that approved residential development for Stoke Golding has already significantly exceeded (155 dwellings) the minimum requirement of 60 new dwellings within Policy 11 of the adopted Core Strategy and that the adopted SADMP states that no further residential allocation sites are required for Stoke Golding. Reference is made to the implications of 'minimum requirement' within the Core Strategy policies and that the Council has discretionary powers both to permit development above the specified minimum allocation and also to refuse such applications on a case by case basis. Reference is also made to the Inspectors comments within a previous appeal decision relating to 75 new dwellings for the settlement and ... view the full agenda text for item 97
