Application No: NC/21/00064/REM
Speaker:
Hartley Bolton attended the meeting and addressed the committee
as a third party objector to the
proposed development raising concerns with the increased level of
traffic and the detrimental impact it would have on driver/resident
safety along the A6116. Mr Bolton also raised concerns with regards
to localised flooding that may be associated with local warehouse
development.
Philip Jones attended the committee and addressed the committee
as the applicant for the proposed development stating that Highways
and ecological factors had been considered as part of the planning
process and that all requirements would be met. Mr Jones also
stated to the committee that the drainage scheme had been approved
in detail and allowed for greater control to prevent excess water
entering the Harpers Brook. It was also confirmed to members that
access and highways were being dealt with within a separate
reserved matters application.

Decision
Members received a report about a proposal for which reserved
matter approval was being sought for
access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for site preparation works
including remediation, development platform creation, drainage and
service infrastructure provision, initial estate road construction,
ecological mitigation and perimeter landscaping.
Members sought clarity regarding other reserved matters
applications in relation to the Highways officer comments contained
within the reports.
It
was heard that the highway comments relating to access were to be
addressed in a separate reserved matters application not yet before
committee. A Transport Assessment was to be included and would
inform layout of roundabout and relevant junctions but not
considered relevant to the internal layout.
Members raised questions regarding the aesthetic green belt that
would surround the proposed development. It was confirmed that a
measure of set back and natural
screening would ensure that the proposed development would not have
an adverse effect on the surrounding area.
Members then agreed that the proposed
development was satisfactory and saw no issue with approving the
application as per the officer’s recommendation.
Following debate it was proposed by
Councillor Bell and seconded by Councillor Dalziel that the
application be approved in line with the officers
recommendation.
It
was agreed that the application be APPROVED subject
to the following conditions:
