The Committee resolved to DEFER the planning application so that more information could be submitted on:
1. Tractor access to the allotment with a clear response from the Council’s Leisure and Parks department on delivery options.
2. The long term viability of the proposed drainage scheme and protection of the SSSI. Specifically the possibility of any long term damage to the fen, underlying ground water and aquifers from the proposed development. The Committee would also like to see evidence of where such schemes have worked at sensitive locations.
3. The issue of future council tenants seeking to exercise Right to Buy of their dwellings and how leaseholds would be considered, in order to ensure long-term responsibility and protection of the SSSI and the on-going maintenance costs of the SUDD scheme.
The Committee wished to concentrate solely on these three outstanding issues when the proposal is reconsidered at a future meeting, it being satisfied that the scheme met other requirements and issues from the planning officer report. |

Legal Agreement:
City requirements: Indoor sport £2,424 Open space/Ecology £6,429 Play Areas £1,376 Sports Ground £1,728 Allotments £ 112 Total Contribution £12,069 plus 5% admin fee £603
County requirements: Transport £28,350 Traffic management/highway safety £ 3,000 Primary schools £43,944 Secondary schools £37,853 SEN schools £ 3,065 Library £ 2,248 Waste infrastructure £ 1,044 Museums Resource Centre £ 131 Total contribution £119,635 plus admin fee £1500
It is important to note that the Councils’ Community Infrastructure Levy Charging [CIL] Schedule is to be put to Full Council for adoption on the 30th September 2013. The formal implementation of CIL would have an impact upon the level of contributions sought for this scheme, as Affordable Housing is one of the forms of development which could apply for an exemption from CIL charges. The introduction of CIL will apply to any applications where S106 agreements have not been agreed before this comes into effect and therefore given the timeframes for this decision it is likely that these contributions will have to be recalculated.
Should, however, the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule come into force prior to the completion of the legal agreement, then it shall exclude any items included on the list of infrastructure published in accordance with regulation 123 of the CIL regulations.
If the required legal agreement is not completed within a reasonable period, then the Committee delegates the issuing of a Notice of Refusal to the Head of City Development on the grounds that the development has failed adequately to mitigate its impacts. Additional documents: Minutes: The Head of City Development submitted a report (previously circulated now appended) which detailed a planning application to demolish Alice Smith House.
