This application was brought to the Committee as it was a reserved matters application for a major residential development.

There was a late item comprise of a correction, which clarified the number of units was 104. 

Katy Falls, on behalf of the applicant, Steve Willgoose, objecting and Councillor R Bullock, Ward Member, gave representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

During the debate, the Committee gave due consideration to all of the information that had been presented to it, with particular reference to the impact on privacy the proposed houses would have on existing residents, who would be overlooked. There was also concern about un-adopted roads, traffic, access and the mix of affordable housing on the site. It was noted that the affordable housing should not be differentiated by look or style from the other housing on the site.

It was proposed by Councillor S J Carr and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that the item be deferred to allow the developer to give consideration to the configuration of the proposed development in order to address concerns about privacy and overlooking and to improve the mix of affordable housing.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

          RESOLVED that the item be deferred.

Reasons

To allow the developer to give consideration to the configuration of the proposed development in order to address concerns about privacy and overlooking and to improve the mix of affordable housing.
