Decision details

Item 7:  Reserved Matters application pursuant to 15/00053/OUT for the erection of 125 dwellings including appearance, landscaping, layout and scale.

The Head of Development Management referred Members to the Update Sheet which set out updates required to Condition 2 (which listed the plans and documents that would be approved if consent was granted). Some of the plan numbers were incorrect and some documents which were referred to in other conditions were also listed in the Update Sheet for completeness.  Further updates were included with regard to phasing, variations to Condition 5 (SAP and BRE details); Condition 8 (landscaping) and Condition 6 (parking).  An additional condition was also included relating to protection of trees and hedgerows on the south eastern edge.

During public participation, Robert Shields, Bishops Waltham Parish Council, spoke in objection to the application and James Iles, Agent, spoke in support of the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.

At the conclusion of debate, the Committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and the Update Sheet and also subject to a variation of the Section 106 Agreement  to ensure that the wildlife corridor was first offered to Bishops Waltham Parish Council to manage, and if not it would be managed by the Management Company (as detailed in the existing Section106 agreement ) as part of the public open space. It was agreed that officers would consult with Ward Members and Bishops Waltham Parish Council over the terms of the s106 variation.
