4. No development shall take place until details of all external and roofing materials to be used have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and the development shall only be carried out using the agreed materials. The details submitted must include

i. all external windows and doors, cill and window header details

ii. eaves and verges including barge boards

Reason: To ensure the use of appropriate materials in the interests of visual amenity and the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area.’

The responsible Officer stated that this was a controversial application and asked for permission to go through the PowerPoint Presentation to give Members a better idea where the development was going to take place. The Officer than outlined the plans, including the design solutions and materials used, access issues, rights of way and the conditions which were imposed in relation to this application.

Mr James Rigby of Glove Consultants Limited spoke as the agent of the applicant - in support of the application. Mr Rigby explained the lengthy design process they had gone through working closely with a team of talented landscape architects, ecologists and designers to deliver a new residential environment of the highest quality which respected its context and the character of the village leading to this low density development. The proposed layout was very much a landscape led scheme. Throughout the consultation process amendments had been made which greatly improved the scheme. The scheme would provide the stipulated 25% affordable housing. The Parish council were keen for the scheme to provide affordable housing for young people which the proposed layout reflected. 52% of the 130 dwellings would be two or three bedroom properties which consisted 68 properties aimed at young families getting onto the property ladder or could provide an opportunity for people in the village to downsize. Access to Sudbrooke Wood would be improved to allow access all year round. Local companies were to be appointed to carry out the building work.

In response to Cllr McNeill’s question about the relevance of the previous inspector’s decision on this application, Officers confirmed that the planning permission previously granted approval to the principal of the development which was before Members to decide on the night and also to the access to the site itself, so this was a significant material consideration.

The application was proposed, seconded and voted upon and approved unanimously.

It was therefore AGREED that the application be APPROVED.
