NED/21/00627/FL - CLAY CROSS

Variation of Condition 2 (Approved Plans) of NED/20/00221/FL to allow for changes to the road alignment and plot positions (Major Development) at Land opposite 24-44 Clay Lane, Clay Cross

 

(Planning Manager – Development Management)

Minutes:

The report to Committee explained that an Application had been submitted to vary Condition 2 (approved plans) of the existing planning permission granted for a development on the site at land opposite to 22 to 44 Clay Lane in Clay Cross (NED/20/00221/FL). The variation would change the road alignment and configuration of the housing plot positions on the development.

 

The Chair of Committee, Councillor D Ruff, reminded Members that the Application had been deferred at the last meeting, so that an appropriate clarification of the information about flood risks on the site could be reported to the Committee when deciding on the Application.

 

The Chair explained that following discussions, the Applicant and their Agent had confirmed that they would not provide additional information, as this would not be required in order to determine the application. Councillor D Ruff reminded Members that this had also been the view of the Council’s officers in preparing the report on the Application, which they felt contained sufficient information for the Committee to reach its decision.

 

Following an explanation of the procedural arrangements for now determining the Application, Councillor D Ruff moved and seconded a motion to suspend Council Procedure Rule 13.2, which prevented a motion or an amendment that had been moved within the previous six-months from being moved again.

 

The motion was put to the vote and was agreed.

 

The Chair then opened the meeting for motions to determine the Application  

 

Councillors D Ruff and P Antcliff moved and seconded a motion to approve the Application, in line with officer recommendations and subject to the conditions set out in report.

 

The motion was put to the vote and was agreed.

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)  That planning permission is conditionally approved in accordance with officer recommendations and the carry-over of the extant section 106 agreement.

 

(2)  That the final wording and content of the conditions be delegated to the Planning Manager (Development Management).

Reason: To ensure that surface water from the development is directed towards the most appropriate waterbody in terms of flood risk and practicality by utilising the highest possible priority destination on the hierarchy of drainage options. The assessment should demonstrate with appropriate evidence that surface water runoff is discharged as high up as reasonably practicable in the following hierarchy.

               I. into the ground (infiltration);

               II. to a surface water body;

               III. to a surface water sewer, highway drain, or another drainage

This must demonstrate that the drainage system has been constructed as per the agreed scheme (or detail any minor variations), provide the details of any management company and state the national grid reference of any key drainage elements (surface water attenuation devices/areas, flow restriction devices and outfalls).

 

Reason: To ensure that the drainage system is constructed to the national Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage and CIRIA standards C753

 

Ground Conditions

 

22.The development shall be carried out in accordance with the remediation strategy approved under NED/21/00829/DISCON.
