Minutes: The Committee received a reserved matters
application for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for infrastructure works
including internal roads, pumping station, cycleways and pedestrian routes,
landscaping and drainage as part of the Land North of Cherry Hinton masterplan
pursuant to condition 2 (first reserved matters) of outline applications
18/0481/OUT and S/1231/18/OL as varied by references 22/01966/S73 and
22/01967/S73 and the Reserved Matters include the partial discharge of
conditions - 10, 17, 23, 24, 26, 29, 36, 37, 38, 40, 44, 55, 59, 61, 71. The Principal Planning Officer updated her report by referring to the
Amendment Sheet and also updated conditions 1 and 19 in her presentation to
Committee. Mr Fletcher (Agent) spoke in favour of the application. The Committee made the following comments in response to the report:
i.
Expressed concern that some of the play areas /
open spaces had a drainage attenuation function.
ii.
Residents
would avoid these areas due to perception of poor safety, or
be unable to use them in times of heavy rainfall.
iii.
Flooding of areas could lead to a change in surface
such as reeds growing in grassed areas which prevented them being used as an
open space.
iv.
This meant the amount of open space available in
reality was less than the impression given in the plans.
v.
Estate management and maintenance contacts should
be local and accessible to residents. The Strategic Sites Delivery Manager advised that details of the
management and maintenance of the open spaces formed part of the section 106
Agreement linked to the outline planning permissions the details of which would
need to be formally signed off by the Council(s) in due course.
vi.
Expressed concern the primary route through the
site would provide a rat run between Coldhams Lane and Airport Way. The Principal Planning Officer said the following in response to
Members’ questions: i.
The
highways authority was expected to adopt the primary and secondary roads and the cycleways. The Developer aimed to
build roads to an adoptable standard. ii.
The
management company may adopt some minor (tertiary) roads proposed as part of
subsequent reserved matters applications . Only the primary and secondary
routes were being proposed as part of
this application.
iii.
The road adoption process was separate to the
planning process.
iv.
The
primary route had been designed to discourage rat running and would have a
20mph speed limit. The Strategic Sites Delivery Manager said that the decision to keep the
route through the site had been taken by the County Council some years
previously. The principle had therefore been well established early on in the
planning process. The Committee were not able to change this decision. There
were no objections to the planning application from the Highways Authority.
v.
Cycle parking for homes would come forward with
residential development phases.
vi.
The mobility hub would provide storage for motor
bikes and bicycles. vii. The planting of trees on the boundary between the airport and application site was secured through the Section ... view the full minutes text for item 23/11/JDCC |
