The application was brought to the Committee as it represents a Major Planning Application.

There were late items comprising further comments from the Highways Authority. The Highways Authority commented that the modelling indicates that the proposed Toton Link Road performs an important strategic function, providing an additional connection between Stapleford Lane and the A52 corridor and influencing traffic distribution across the wider network.

The Highway Authority did not consider that the additional modelling fully resolves its concerns. Whilst it provides useful strategic evidence, several important technical matters remain outstanding and require further clarification before a final view can be reached regarding the acceptability of the development.

There were four public speakers for this item James Hicks, agent of the applicant, David Lovett, Objecting, Joan Roche, Objecting, and Councillor T Cullen, Ward member made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

The Committee considered all representations, debating the conflict between the Highways Authority and the applicant regarding the proposed traffic alleviation.

It was noted that approval at this meeting would mean approval of the housing scheme and not the design or characters of the schemes. It was reported that these would be considered at a future meeting and members would have the opportunity to comment on this aspect at that time.

Members raised particular concerns regarding the need to review all elements of the scheme together, paying special attention to the Highways issues. Members stated that they wanted to review all aspects holistically and not by individual schemes as has been submitted by the applicant.

The Committee noted the delegated decisions.

The Committee noted the appeal decisions.

The Committee noted the enforcement summary.
