‘Late items:’

Introduction:-

The applicant has amended the proposed roof tile to Russell Grampian (Slate Grey) as used in the construction of existing dwellings within the wider Sketchley Brook development.

Consultations:-

Paragraph 6.2

No objection subject to conditions has been received from Leicestershire County Council (Highways).

Amend paragraph 6.4.

Leicestershire County Council (Developer Contributions) requests the following infrastructure contributions as a result of the reduction in the number of units from 35 to 30:-

1)         Director of Children and Family Services requests a total contribution of £63,882.77 towards education facilities to mitigate capacity issues resulting from the proposed development (Primary School Sector);

2)         Director of Environment and Transport requests a contribution of £1,486 towards civic amenity facilities to mitigate additional demands on Barwell Civic Amenity site as a result of the proposed development:

3)         Library Services (Locality Manager - North) considers that the development would not have any adverse impact on Burbage Library and therefore no contribution is requested on this occasion.

Appraisal:-

Design

Paragraph 8.16

The proposed amendment to the use a smaller roof tile of similar make and appearance to neighbouring properties within the Sketchley Brook development will complement the appearance of the surrounding area.

Highways

Paragraph 8.25

An amended plan (revision 023K) has been submitted to address issues raised by Leicestershire County Council (Highways) in respect of the adoptability of the proposed access road/junction adjacent to Plots 1. Following receipt of this amended plan, the Highway Authority confirm that they have no objection to the scheme on highway grounds and recommend the imposition of two conditions to require the access, footway widening works, parking and turning facilities to be implemented in accordance with amended plan and for a construction traffic management plan to be submitted for prior approval. The conditions would be reasonable and necessary to ensure satisfactory development of the site.

Infrastructure contributions

Paragraph 8.42 - reduce education contribution from £72,594.06 to £63,882.77

Paragraph 8.43 - reduce civic amenity contribution from £1,734 to £1,486

The reduction in developer contributions in respect of education and civic amenity facilities as a result of the reduction in the number of units from 35 to 30 does not change the previous assessment contained in the main agenda report.

Recommendation:-

Paragraphs 1.1 and 11.1

Amend Education contribution from £72,594.06 to £63,882.77 as a result of the reduction in the number of units from 35 to 30 dwellings.
