In order to give proper effect to the Board`s intentions and without changing the substance of the decision, authority is delegated to the Head of Strategic & Economic Planning, in consultation with the Chairman (or in his absence the Vice Chairman) of the Strategic Planning Board, to correct any technical slip or omission in the wording of the resolution, between approval of the minutes and issue of the decision notice.
Although the Strategic Planning Board has
resolved to remove the conditions relating to 3 storey development,
the inclusion of a wildlife corridor behind Dig Lane and bungalows
backing on to existing bungalows on Stock Lane, the applicant
should be aware that the Board will scrutinise any reserved matters
application very carefully to ensure that an adequate standard of
amenity is maintained for existing
residents.
As such the
applicant is advised to avoid three storey development within the
site and siting multi-storey dwellings alongside the existing
bungalows in Stock Lane and is advised to include a Wildlife
Corridor to the rear of the properties on Dig Lane, to ensure that
adequate separation distances are maintained between existing and
proposed dwellings and drainage concerns mitigated. This advice is
given without prejudice to the Board’s consideration of any
formal reserved matters application.
