The Planning Services Manager advised of further updates to the report. Following on from further negotiations with the applicants, the review of additional information in respect of viability and comments submitted, it was proposed that the recommendation be amended to remove the provision of financial contributions within the S106 Agreement. It was also proposed to remove the requirement for the provision of affordable housing within the S106 Agreement and add an additional condition (no 34) in respect of the provision of affordable housing.
The recommendation was therefore amended to read:
A) That the Planning Services Manager be authorised to issue planning permission
upon completion of an agreement under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act to secure:
The provision of a management plan for all publicly accessible open spaces and
woodland areas within the site;
In the event that the Agreement is not completed by 1st November 2016 that permission be refused on the grounds that the application does not comply with Policy EN3 of the adopted Hastings Local Plan, The Hastings Planning Strategy 2011-2028 unless an extension of time has been agreed in writing by the Planning Services Manager in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Committee.
B) subject to the above
Grant Full Planning Permission subject to the following conditions:
Furthermore, it is requested that the following condition be imposed upon any planning permission granted, which will make sure the development is acceptable:
34. The development shall not begin until a scheme for the provision of affordable housing as part of the development has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The affordable housing shall be provided in accordance with the approved scheme and shall meet the definition of affordable housing in Annex 2 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 or any future guidance that replaces it. The scheme shall include:
(i) the numbers, type, tenure and location on the site of the affordable housing provision to be made, which shall consist of not less than 56% of housing units which equates to 68 housing units.
(ii) the timing of the construction of the affordable housing and its phasing in relation to the occupancy of the market housing. The phasing of occupancy within the scheme for the provision of affordable housing shall include a requirement that no more than 50% occupancy of the market housing shall be allowed until 100% of the affordable housing units have been constructed.
(iii) the arrangements for the transfer of the affordable housing to an affordable housing provider [or the management ... view the full minutes text for item 109a
