Councillor Azad joined the meeting after the start of this item and accordingly took no part in the debate or decision.

 

The Committee considered an application for planning permission setting out the details of reserved matters (layout, scale, appearance, and landscaping) for the third phase of the Barton Park development, pursuant of condition 3 of the outline planning permission 13/01383/OUT, on Land at Barton, Northern By-pass Road, Oxford

 

The works comprise the construction of 207 residential units (Class C3) with associated means of access and highways works; car and cycle parking; hard and soft landscaping; public realm works and ancillary structures, including a substation.

 

The Planning Officer recommended, and the Committee accepted, changes to the recommendation to take account of information received after the agenda was published and to clarify the delegations as set out in the decision below.

The Planning Officer confirmed that the statement of conformity to the outline Environmental Statement (ES) that had been submitted by the applicant was adequate to assess the effects of the reserved matters application as it confirmed that those details had been developed within the parameters of the ES and it concluded that the reserved matters would not give rise to any significant effects over those considered at the time of the outline application.

Paul Comerford, Jonathan Hill, and David Owens (representing the applicant) spoke in support of the application and answered questions from the Committee.

 

 

After questions were answered by the speakers and by officers and on being proposed, seconded, and put to the vote the Committee agreed to accept the Planning Officer’s amended recommendations as below.

 

East Area Planning Committee resolved to:

1.    delegate approval of the reserved matters application submitted in relation to condition 3 of the outline planning permission 13/01383/OUT as amended by the modification order made on the 8th October 2018 and confirmed on the 14th November 2018 subject to the satisfactory receipt of amended plans to the Acting Head of Planning Services, for the reasons given in the report and  subject to the 8 required planning conditions 

2.    defer the discharge of the following conditions of outline consent 13/01383/OUT (as modified) to be dealt with on a delegated basis by the Acting Head of Planning Services:

·        Condition 6 – Materials

·        Condition 9 – Landscape and Public Realm

·        Condition 11 – Tree Protection Measures

·        Condition 12 – Landscape Management Plan

·        Condition 15 – Lifetime Homes Standards

·        Condition 16 – Car Parking Standards

·        Condition 17 – Cycle Parking Standards

·        Condition 20 – Travel Plan

·         Condition 23 – Sustainability

·         Condition 25 – Phased Surface Water Drainage

Site address: The Bungalow, Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 6NQ

 

Proposal: Outline application (seeking the approval of access, landscaping, layout and scale) for the demolition of a bungalow and MOT garage and erection of proposed mixed use development comprising 9 x 2 bed flats, 433 sq. m of B1 office space and associated car parking, cycle parking, bin stores and landscaping.

 

Recommendation: East Area Planning Committee is recommended to:

 

1.    approve the application for the reasons given in the report, subject to there being no further objections received following consultation, the submission of an Arboricultural Impact Assessment which satisfactorily demonstrates that the development would not by reason of its siting compromise the cedar tree shown to be retained and subject to the satisfactory completion of a legal agreement under section.106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other enabling powers to secure the planning obligations set out in this report.

 

The development would also be subject to the required planning conditions set out in section 12 of this report.

 

2.    agree to delegate authority to the Acting Head of Planning Services to:

 

(a)  finalise the recommended conditions as set out in the report including such refinements, amendments, additions and/or deletions as the Acting Head of Planning Services considers reasonably necessary; and

 

(b)  finalise the recommended legal agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other enabling powers as set out in the report, including refining, adding to, amending and/or deleting the obligations detailed in the heads of terms set out in the report (including to dovetail with and where appropriate, reinforce the final conditions and informatives to be attached to the planning permission) as the Acting Head of Planning Services considers reasonably necessary; and

 

(c)  complete the section 106 legal agreement referred to above and issue the planning permission.

Outline application (seeking the approval of access, landscaping, layout and scale) for the demolition of a bungalow and MOT garage and erection of proposed mixed use development comprising 9 x 2 bed flats, 433 sq. m of B1 office space and associated car parking, cycle parking, bin stores and landscaping at The Bungalow, Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 6NQ.

 

The Planning Officer reported that officers had received and assessed the arboricultural impact assessment and were satisfied that the existing cedar tree would not be compromised. He recommended removing reference to this and adding three conditions to the decision: agreement of a landscape plan; agreement of a tree protection plan; and a time limit for submission of a reserved matters application.

 

Janine Wheeler (the applicant) came to the table to answer questions from the Committee.

 

A proposal to refuse the application because the site was capable of accommodating 10 dwellings and hence deliberately underdeveloped was seconded. Officers advised that the policy referred to, and the discussions with the applicant following their original proposals, did not support that view. The proposal was lost on being put to the vote.

 

On being proposed, seconded, and put to the vote the Committee agreed to accept the Planning Officer’s amended recommendations.

 

East Area Planning Committee resolved to:

 

1.    approve the application for the reasons given in the report, subject to:

(a)   there being no further objections received following consultation, and

(b)   the satisfactory completion of a legal agreement under section106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other enabling powers to secure the planning obligations set out in this report; and

(c)  the 15 required planning conditions set out in section 12 of this report; plus 3 conditions requiring agreement of a landscape plan; agreement of a tree protection plan; and setting a time limit on the submission of a reserved matters application; and

 

2.    delegate authority to the Acting Head of Planning Services to:

 

(a)  finalise the recommended conditions as set out in the report including such refinements, amendments, additions and/or deletions as the Acting Head of Planning Services considers reasonably necessary; and

(b)  finalise the recommended legal agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other enabling powers as set out in the report, including refining, adding to, amending and/or deleting the obligations detailed in the heads of terms set out in the report (including to dovetail with and where appropriate, reinforce the final conditions and informatives to be attached to the planning permission) as the Acting Head of Planning Services considers reasonably necessary; and
