Issue - meetings

Public participation:

Mr Dave Staniland spoke in support of the application

Mr David Healing, representing Durrington Parish Council, spoke in support of the application

The Planning Officer introduced the item, which was a reserved matters application for landscaping and appearance of Phase 1 of the development only, and drew members’ attention to the late list which contained a revised recommendation. 

The Planning Officer confirmed that the Wiltshire Council allocations policy for affordable housing is such that this is not a site where a parish connection is required (all the affordable units will be determined by need and not by local connection to Durrington).  The Committee requested that a letter be sent to the Head of New Housing to consider changing the allocation of affordable housing policy to give priority to people with a connection to the parish.

Cllr Wright spoke as local member and withdrew from the debate and vote.

RESOLVED:

Subject to the completion of a supplemental S106 agreement to modify the 2008 S106 agreement to:

a)     Amend the position of 1 affordable dwelling

b)     Update the table of affordable housing mix on the original S106

c)      Allow the affordable housing to be provided in phases (to correspond to phasing condition 5 on the outline consent)

d)     Update the Affordable Housing provisions to take account of replacement of BREEAM by Code for Sustainable Homes and revised mechanisms for the sale of shared ownership units in line with current legislation/regulations

Following completion of which, the decision to grant Reserved Matters be delegated to officers.

The detailed design components of this reserved matters application are considered to follow the provisions of the adopted development brief and in doing so give a large degree of certainty that this reserved matters application will deliver a high quality scheme that is locally relevant to the context of Durrington.  The application is considered to address the requirements set out in the adopted development brief and accords with the relevant ‘saved’ policies of the Adopted Salisbury District Local Plan, namely:

And subject to the following conditions:

(1) The development hereby permitted shall be begun either before the expiration of three years from the date of outline permission (S/2006/1698), or before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last of the reserved matters to be approved, whichever is the later.
