The following people addressed the committee:
Mr Adrian Bloor (Agent), supporting
Councillor Gary Selwyn (Ward Member)
Following a Member question, the Committee noted that the proposed development would have a Community Management Trust. An application process to establish this Trust was underway.
The Committee noted that the highways authority would adopt the road space, any open space would be maintained by the Trust (the ecology management plan would help to manage the components of it). Over time, some of the roles and responsibilities of the Community Management Trust would transition to become the responsibilities of the community.
The Committee noted that in relation to ancillary buildings, it was not always appropriate to include garages with new houses, In order to achieve greater beauty in housing, ancillary buildings could be incorporated to provide space for home working, bike parking, etc.
The Committee further noted that in relation to great crested newts, the ecological survey had not flagged any concerns.
The Committee expressed a view that it would be important to determine the feasibility of including electrical bicycle charging points as part of the development.
