To receive as information a report on the work to date on prepare a draft planning and development brief for a site now occupied by Ridgeon's builders merchants at Cromwell Road.
The Committee received a report from the Urban Design and Conservation
Manager regarding the Ridgeon’s Cromwell Road Draft Planning and Development
Brief Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
The guide had been produced to help guide the redevelopment of the site
for housing.
The Committee
discussed the following issues:
i.
Expressed concern at the impact of 245 homes on
education and health provision. A review
had been undertaken by the County Council on education provision in 2010 which stated
that there was sufficient provision however in Romsey
ward though there was an issue with early year’s provision.
ii.
Questioned why a public drop-in session had not
been undertaken near to Romsey ward.
iii.
The Chisholm Trail skirted the bottom of the
development and questioned why cycle provision was limited.
iv.
Questioned whether the cycle path could follow the
railway line.
In response to Members’ questions the Urban Design and
Conservation Manager answered:
i.
Early
year’s provision and community space provision could be secured through the
outline planning application.
ii.
Confirmed
that a public drop-in session on the proposed development could be held.
iii.
There
were no dedicated cycle routes through the development but this could be
considered with the County Council.
iv.
Confirmed
that as the development was already close to the railway line there may not be
sufficient room for a cycle path at this position.
Resolved (unanimously):
i.
To note and receive the report for information.
