136225 Land at Honeyholes Lane, Dunholme PDF 142 KB Reserved matters application for erection of 49no. dwellings, sportsfacility and additional car parking - following outline planning permission 131087 allowed on appeal 26 February 2016. Additional documents: Minutes: Planning application for erection of 49 dwellings, a sports facility and additional car parking, following outline planning permission 131087 allowed on appeal on 26 February 2016, at “Land North of Honeyholes Lane Dunholme, Lincoln LN2 3SQ”.
In presenting the report, the Planning Development Management Officer advised that additional conditions had been requested from the Highways Department, and these were shared with Members.
Simon Ibbotson, an architect representing Cyden Homes addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application:
· It was noted that the reserved matters would include soft landscaping to the northern boundary of the site where the curtilage abuts this boundary; · The layout had been coordinated with Planning and Housing Officers from the Local Authority and it accorded with the adopted policies of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan and the Dunholme Neighbourhood Plan; · Within the proposed development, the twelve affordable houses now integrate more seamlessly into the layout, and the housing mix has been addressed. Four of the houses were fully wheelchair compliant; · A five metre wide landscape buffer zone of native hedgerows and trees had been created on the northern boundary, and no buildings would be created in this area. A three metre wide adoptable footpath and cycle path would be created on the south of the site at Honeyholes Lane.
Councillor Simon Barrett from Dunholme Parish Council addressed the Committee and provided the following observations and concerns of the Parish Council:
· The development in Dunholme was welcomed, however there were some concerns over the development; · The Parish Council did not feel that there had been adequate consultation with themselves or the community; · The site failed to meet LP24 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan in respect of the sports and recreation facilities proposed; · The plan did not meet LP22 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan, nor Policy 11 of the Dunholme Neighbourhood Plan with regard to the adjacent green wedge; · The development did not meet the Affordable Housing Policy, and there was also concern that the proposed affordable housing was in blocks, rather than spread around the development; · In the original plan put forward, an agreement was made with the landowner for an amount of money that would be made available to the Parish Council; certain stipulations have been put on this with regard to the amount of houses that have to be occupied before the money is released. It was felt that this was contrary to the initial agreement; · The Section 106 agreement did not help Dunholme St.Chad’s primary School in any way; the school is already at capacity and is desperately in need of funds.
George Backovic, Principal Development Management Officer responded to comments from speakers as follows:
· A section 106 had been signed at the outline stage, and the report provided further detail in terms of the amount of monies that were agreed and this was a matter that could not be revisited by a reserved matters application.
