Minutes:

The Head of City Development submitted a report (previously circulated now appended) which detailed a planning application to erect 30 residential units (8 x 4 bed houses, 17 x 3 bed houses, 2 x 2 bed flats and 3 x1 bed flats) together with access road, 51 car parking spaces, 60 cycle parking spaces, public open space and landscaping.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, the Committee noted that Francis Marshall, Fiona Livingstone, Mark Pitt, (Headington Heritage) and Nicholas Fell spoke against the application and Nik Lyzba spoke in favour of it.

 

The Committee also wished to record that, notwithstanding the specifics of policy SP3 of the Sites and Housing Plan which requires 25% of the site to be retained as public open space, the Committee accepted the officer’s recommendation, despite the slight shortfall in the amount of public open space on the site, because of the number of affordable homes the application will provide and the large proportion of family dwellings included in the scheme.

 

The Committee resolved to SUPPORT the proposal in principle with conditions, but defer the application to allow an accompanying legal agreement to be drawn up and to delegate to officers issuing of the notice of planning permission on its completion.
