Decision

To DEFER a decision on this application until the next meeting of the Committee for the following reasons:

To ask the applicant whether they would be willing to make a financial contribution to improve pedestrian access to the site. The Committee considered that the pathway which currently provided access to the site was not in sufficient condition for use should the application be granted, and developed. The Committee considered that pedestrians would be required to access the site using the highway surface if the condition of the pathway was not improved.

The Committee noted that the application currently permitted the applicant to elect that the Council retain an affordable housing deposit of £346,198 rather than providing two affordable housing units in the linked application 16/01448/FUL if they so chose. The Committee considered that this option should not be provided to the applicant, and that if this application was granted, it should include within its conditions that 2 affordable housing units be provided in the linked application 16/01448/FUL.
