To consider proposed amendments to the resolution passed by the Strategic Planning Board in respect of application 11/3956C

The Committee considered the report of the Development Management and Building Control Manager which sought to amend a previous resolution passed by the Strategic Planning Board on 8 February 2012 in respect of the Section 106 Agreement attached to planning application 11/3956C (Former Fodens Factory, Land off Moss Lane, Sandbach) namely, to change the requirement for ‘shared ownership’ within the scheme to ‘shared equity’. 

The Board was also asked to approve the inclusion of a clause, which had been omitted from the previous resolution, to grant delegated authority to the Head of Planning and Housing in consultation with the Chair of Strategic Planning Board to make minor amendments to the wording of the decision (if required) on the proviso that the substantive nature of the decision was not exceeded. 

RESOLVED: That, for the reasons set out in the report,  

a)           the previous resolution in respect of application 11/3956C relating to the affordable housing heads of terms be amended to

“Affordable housing – the number and tenure split of the affordable housing will be no less than 19.7% (53 units in total) comprising at least 65% (34 units) affordable rent and 35% intermediate housing (19 units)”; and

b)      in the event of any changes being needed to the wording of the Committee’s decision (such as to delegate, vary or additional conditions/ informatives/ planning obligations or reasons for approval / refusal) prior to the decision being issued, the Development Management and Building Control Manager, in consultation with the Chair of the Strategic Planning Board, is delegated the authority to do so, provided that he does not exceed the substantive nature of the Committee’s decision.
