The Executive Director of Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above applications.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which set out information on the Amended Plot E Ground Floor, Sustainable drainage (SUDS), comments from Transport, Section 106 legal agreement procedure and affordable housing.  Additional SUDS conditions were recommended for applications 201533/REM and 201537/REM.  The update report also set out a revised drawings list.

 

It was report at the meeting that officers were satisfied that the recommended heads of terms could be secured by way of a deed of variation to the existing 2019 S106 agreement on the basis that certain parts of that agreement, where they related to the heads of terms described in the recommendation, no longer served a useful planning purpose. This was because the existing 2019 version of the S106 agreement did not secure the increased amount of Affordable Housing and other changes described in the recommendation and therefore required variation to reflect the changes.

 

Comments were received and considered.

 

Resolved -  

 

(1)      That the Deputy Director of Planning, Transport and Regulatory Services be authorised to grant full planning permission for application 201536/VAR (PLOT F & Northern Site), subject to approval of application 201535/NMA and to completion of a section 106 legal agreement by 2 April 2021 (unless a later date be agreed by the Deputy Director of Planning, Transport and Regulatory Services) to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the original report;
