The Planning Services Manager advised that on 19th May 2016 the National Planning Policy Guidance was amended setting out when contributions could not be sought. These circumstances included that contributions could not be sought from developments of 10 units or less and which have a maximum combined gross floor space of no more than 1000sqm. In light of this the Council are unable to seek an affordable housing contribution in relation to this application. The Planning Committee report had been amended and the resolution to grant permission subject to the provision of an off-site affordable housing contribution has been removed. The recommendation is now for approval subject to conditions.
A supplementary report explaining the change to government policy was circulated to the Committee and published on the Council’s website prior to the start of the meeting.
