Proposal:                   Replacement play space, boundary treatment and landscaping.

Recommendation:   Grant, subject to conditions.

Replacement play space, boundary treatment and landscaping.

The Committee considered a report on the above application.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which summarised additional consultation responses from Transport Strategy and Thames Valley Police, and recommended an additional condition regarding footpath works to ensure that access into the Dee Park open space would remain accessible following the refurbishment of the site.  A verbal update was given at the meeting to clarify and update points in the original report regarding parking, submission of biodiversity net gain documents, works on the public highway no longer being required, and an updated drainage strategy.

Comments were received and considered.

At the meeting it was proposed and agreed that Condition 3, regarding play equipment, and Condition 6 regarding landscaping, planting, maintenance and landscape management plan, should be approved in consultation with local ward councillors.

(1)       That, pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, the carrying out of the development PL/24/1555 (REG3) be authorised, subject to the conditions and informatives as recommended in the original report, with the additional condition as recommended in the update report;

(2)       That Condition 3 (play equipment) and Condition 6 (landscaping, planting, maintenance and landscape management plan) be approved in consultation with Ward Councillors.
