The key issues in the determination of this application are therefore whether
the proposals overcome the previous reasons for refusal in terms of the
principle of development, in particular in terms of housing numbers having
had regard to the context of the release of the Phase 2 sites within the Local
Plan, whether the proposals enable comprehensive development of the
Phase 2 site and provides a deliverable mechanism for the provision of
improved primary school facilities.
Having had regard to these issues it is considered that the current application
overcomes the previous reasons for refusal and as such is acceptable in
principle.
In addition in terms of the proposed access to the site, implications of the
development on the wider highways network, the environmental impacts of
the scheme in terms of flood / drainage, ecology / biodiversity, land
contamination, energy efficiency and cumulative impact the proposals are
considered acceptable in accordance with policy.
The proposals would also contribute to the general housing provision within
the District including the provision for affordable housing and would provide
financial contributions towards the provision of highway improvements,
education, waste and recycling facilities and would secure affordable housing,
recreational open space, a travel plan and additional school land.
As such, having had regard to the development plan, all other relevant local
and national planning policies, consultation responses received to date and all
other material planning considerations, it is considered that the proposed
development is acceptable in principle and accords with policy.
Recommendation:
This planning application is recommended to be APPROVED subject to:
