Agenda item

The application was for the approval of reserved matters (layout, scale, appearance and landscaping) pursuant to outline planning permission 18/0763 (13 dwellings with modified access off Guildford Road, landscaping and parking areas). (Amended & additional plans rec'd 04/11/2019 and 06/11/2019.)

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

“The Environment Agency has now raised no objection following provision of a technical site plan showing the proposal overlain on to a topographical survey, which demonstrates that all buildings are located outside of the 1% (Flood Zone 3) +35% climate change flood extent.

Condition 7 is now proposed to be amended as follows:

The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with the Flood Risk Assessment submitted under the 18/0763 outline application (reference A/BDWESTEND.10, 2nd Issue dated August 2018), along with the subsequent Drainage Strategy Addendum (amended 11 November 2019 to include updated drainage strategy) and ensuring that no residential dwellings shall be located within the 1% annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood extent.

The measures detailed above shall be fully implemented prior to occupation, and retained and maintained thereafter throughout the lifetime of the development.

Reason: To reduce the risk of flooding to the proposed development and future occupants. This is in accordance with the adopted Policy DM10 of Surrey Heath Core Strategy 2011-2028.

Correction:

Paragraph 7.6.8 should refer to 30% of dwellings to be provided as affordable housing under Policy CP5, not 40%. 30% provision is required for developments of 10-14 such as this proposal, and the proposed four affordable units would meet this requirement.”

The application was proposed by Graham Tapper, seconded by Councillor Charlotte Morley and put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED that application 19/0607 be granted subject to the conditions in the officer report.
