Proposal:
Site:
Ward Councillor
Recommendation
Land adjacent to, Wyre Cllr Charles Tucker Cllr Approve - Outline
Road, Pershore
David Brotheridge Cllr
Mrs Val Wood Cllr Mrs
Elizabeth Tucker
Outline application for 5 hectares of employment land. New access for
pedestrians and cycles, car and car parking, sustainable drainage
measures including storage pond for surface water attenuation;
provisions of utilities, infrastructure and all ancillary works - as approved
under planning permission reference number W/11/00988/OU but
without compliance of condition number 22 (form of development).
Officer: Jonathan Edwards
Parish/Town Council: Multiple Parishes
Applicant: Crown House Developments
Consultation Responses
Wyre Piddle Parish Council
Objects
Original application was subject to intense debate and was only granted
exceptionally as it was essential for continuing prosperity of a local business.
Condition 22 was imposed as some form of control over type of development
provided. If removed will make a mockery of the original application.
SWDP allocation was subject to objection. Inspector has not commented on where
employment land allocations should be provided. To grant permission would be
premature.
Shows future growth is being decided by developers rather than through
consideration of the SWDP by Inspector.
Representations Received
Mike Oakley - concerns that the proposed development has commenced and that
this will invalidate the planning agreement.
Update Officer Appraisal
Since preparation of the agenda, further information has been submitted in response
to planning conditions attached to planning permission ref. no. W/11/00988. For
example, details of drainage proposals.
It seems likely that some of the conditions suggested on the agenda report are not
appropriately worded or will not be needed by the time the recommended new
permission is issued. As such, officers would ask for delegated powers to impose
the conditions considered necessary and reasonable at the time of issuing the
planning permission. Condition 18 as set out on the agenda report will not be
changed.
