Agenda and minutes

Members will disclose any pecuniary and any other significant interests they may have in relation to the matters under consideration.

Councillor Jones declared an ‘Other Significant Interest’ on Item 03 – Reserved matters application for the erection of 160 dwellings with associated works, Land off Lambs Road, Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire – 17/00050/REMMAJ, because she had previously made representations and felt that it could be perceived that she had pre-determined the matter. She commented on the item and then left the room when the item was discussed and had no involvement in the decision making.

To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of the Planning Committee held on Wednesday 2 August 2017 (already circulated by email).

RESOLVEDthat the two undermentioned applications be DEFERRED to the Head of Planning Services for a Section 106 Agreement under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as set out below:

15/00928/OUTMAJ

Property Capital PLC & Carrick Sports.  Outline application for residential development for up to 49 dwellings with access applied for off Calder House Lane.  Land off Calder House Lane, Barnacre With Bonds, Lancashire, PR3 1ZE.

As explained within the report, this application was before Committee for a second time.

This application was initially presented to the Committee on 22 March 2017 along with other applications along the A6 corridor. At that meeting the Committee resolved to grant planning permission subject to the completion of a necessary S106 legal agreement to secure appropriate contributions towards highway improvement works and local education provision. As yet, this S106 has not yet been completed and so planning permission has yet to be formally granted. The application was back before Committee because, since the previous resolution, an updated Strategic Housing Land Availability Appraisal (SHLAA) has been published.

One member of the public spoke to the committee, objecting to the application.

The applicant spoke to the committee supporting his application.

The Committee considered that due to the reduction in developable area, the site should only reasonably sustain a maximum of 45 dwellings. The Head of Planning informed the Committee that this could be dealt with either by means of an additional condition or by agreed amendment to the description of development.

The Committee resolved to grant outline planning permission subject to conditions set out below (and an additional condition to limit the development to 45 dwellings) and a S106 legal agreement to secure appropriate financial contributions towards local education, sustainable travel and highway improvement works, and that the Head of Planning Services be authorised to issue the decision upon the agreement of heads of terms with regard to the contributions towards the highway initiatives to be determined by LCC Highways and the satisfactory completion of the s106 agreement. The Head of Planning was also authorised as an alternative to the imposition of an additional condition to obtain agreement to amendment of the description of development to relate to up to 45 houses but subject in all other respects to conditions and a s106 legal agreement as aforesaid.

Whilst it was also recommended that a Grampian condition be imposed to prevent commencement of any development until and unless planning permission has been granted for the development of Jct 2 M55 and the Preston West Distributor, it was considered that the decision on that scheme was likely to be made within the next two months. Due to the time it will take to negotiate the S106 agreement, it is likely that Jct 2 M55 and the PWD will be a commitment (i.e. it will have the benefit of planning permission) before the decision on this application is issued. If that is the case the Grampian condition would be unnecessary and members  ...  view the full minutes text for item PA.24

RESOLVEDthat the two undermentioned applications be APPROVED under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as set out below:

17/00050/REMMAJ

Wainhomes (North West) Ltd.  Reserved matters application for the erection of 160 dwellings with associated works.  Land Off Lambs Road, Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire.

The application was before the Committee for a second time, having been previously presented to the Committee on 2 August 2017. At that meeting the application was deferred for later consideration on the basis that Members wished that the applicant make revisions to the proposal to better integrate the affordable housing with the market housing; providing a pedestrian link through from the main body of the site to Raikes road; and address what was considered to be overdevelopment of the site as reflected by the number of units and area of public open space.

Following the deferral of the application at that August meeting, the applicant subsequently provided a revised plan that included amendments as shown within the report.

Four members of the public and the County Councillor for Thornton and Hambleton all spoke to the Committee, objecting to the application.

The Agent spoke to the Committee in support of their application.

The application was approved as per the recommendation of the Head of Planning Services to grant full planning permission subject to the conditions listed below:-
