Agenda item

Application for approval of Reserved Matters (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) of application 19/00680/OUT for erection of 168 dwellings.

Late items received after preparation of the agenda:

Consultations:-

Final comments have been received from LCC Highways who do not object to the proposal subject to conditions.

Appraisal:-

The local Highway Authority's advice is that, in its view, the impacts of the development on highway safety would not be unacceptable, and when considered cumulatively with other developments, the impacts on the road network would not be severe. Based on the information provided, the development therefore does not conflict with paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), subject to the conditions.

Recommendation:-

Amend conditions 1, 3, 4 and 7 to read as follows:

1.         The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise in complete accordance with the submitted application details as follows:

The private access drives shall be surfaced with hard bound material (not loose aggregate) for a distance of at least 5 metres behind the highway boundary and once provided shall be so maintained in perpetuity.

7.         The approved boundary treatment and fencing details as shown on Drg No: MRR/BTP/01 Rev B shall be completed prior to the occupation of the plot to which it relates
