Schedule of Applications To consider and determine the applications contained within the enclosed schedule:
Additional documents:
Minutes: 21/03283/FUL
13-30 Stockwells Moreton-In-Marsh Gloucestershire GL56 0HQ
The Principal Planning Officer, Martin Perks, introduced the application:
Demolition of 24 no. existing defective non-traditional houses and maisonettes and construction of 28 no. new affordable 2 and 3 bedroom houses, together with associated external works and landscaping at 13-30 Stockwells Moreton-In-Marsh Gloucestershire GL56 0HQ.
The Committee noted the Update Report, which highlighted the additional correspondence in relation to drainage between Town and Parish Councils and the Case Officer.
The Committee further noted the location relating to the application, the current view of the site and the proposed style of the new buildings.
The Committee noted that the application had been submitted for Committee consideration due to the Council having agreed to grant-fund the applicant to provide additional energy efficiency measures to ensure the development was net-zero in terms of carbon emissions. This agreement was separate to the planning application and would be managed directly between the applicant and the Council.
Officers had assessed the application based on if the energy efficiency measures associated with the Council grant were implemented and also if agreement was not reached and the additional measures were not included.
The Committee noted that the application did meet current energy efficiency regulations without the additional measures being incorporated.
A statement submitted by the Ward Member was read out by Democratic Services.
In response to a Member query, the Committee noted that the concerns raised by the Town and Parish Councils in relation to the flooding issue had been addressed sufficiently. The concerns related to foul land surface water drainage.
The Committee noted that it was preferable for surface water to be directed to an existing water-course wherever possible. The potential flow-rate associated with the development had been calculated which had determined that the flow-rate would not cause any further issues in terms of flooding at the southern end of the site.
The Committee noted that any development condition breaches were reported to Town and Parish Councils automatically.
The Committee noted that in relation to the Cotswold design code, this had to be given sufficient consideration and weighting when any application was considered. Certain designs would not be appropriate in different areas and so applications had to be considered on the merits of whether or not the proposed designs were appropriate for the specific area in which they would be located.
It was the view of the Officer that the proposed designs would not be harmful (from a design perspective) to the area in which they would be located.
The Committee noted the views of Members both in favour and opposed to the proposed designs of the development.
In relation to the Cotswold vernacular, the Committee noted that a training session on this topic would be beneficial.
The Committee noted the differences associated with operating a heat pump system as opposed to a gas-fired boiler heating system.
Councillor Mark Harris proposed that the Committee accepted the Officers recommendations, noting the potential energy performance of the development with and without a ... view the full minutes text for item 59. |
