Application Notes:
Whilst the Town Council accepts the need to provide more housing under SAMDev proposals, Members have a number of concerns in respect of this application: • Members are unhappy with the increase in the number of properties for this development, increasing from the original 296 to 345, which leads to a higher density of residential premises. and layout of the proposed development • Members would like to see green and renewable energy initiatives incorporated in to the properties. • Members have concerns in respect of the school and healthcare provision for the residents of this new development. • Members feel that the green space within the plans is inadequate for the density of housing and would like to see more green space provision. • Members would like clarification on the affordable housing provision for this development. • Members would like to see plans for better cycling and walking routes incorporated in to this development. We also recommend that this application should go before Northern Planning Committee due to the material planning considerations raised.
