Agenda item

The application related to the erection of 16 dwellings following the demolition of existing buildings. The site lied within the settlement of Bagshot, with its (east) flank and rear boundary with the A322 Guildford Road and junction 3 of the M3 motorway, which is in the Green Belt.

Members were advised of the following updates:

“Since the completion of the agenda report, it has been confirmed that the proposal will be allocated to the Windlemere SANG. This SANG is being delivered by the Council, is due to commence later this year and be completed in 2019.   Condition 4, which required the development to not commence before confirmation of this allocation and to not occupy before the SANG is available, is now not required due to the certainty of delivery of this SANG.”

The Committee expressed concerns in regard to road safety on Whitmoor Road which was closely adjacent to the site. As a result it was agreed to amend Condition 15 in the officer’s report to insert the following wording after Whitmoor Road ‘…and any other traffic calming measures…’

In addition it was agreed to remove Condition 5 in the officer’s Report as per verbal recommendation to the Committee from the Planning Officer.

RESOLVED that the application to be granted, subject to a legal agreement and the Conditions, as amended, in the agenda report
