The Assistant Planning Manager presented the application for the variation of condition 13 (ecological statements and reports implemented), of Reserved Matters application HS/DS/17/00935 - Approval of reserved matters relating to Layout, Scale, Appearance and Landscaping, pursuant to Outline Planning Permission HS/OA/15/00077, for the erection of 208 dwellings - Variation - to allow the partial construction of the access road (this will comprise replacing some of the existing hardstanding and extending the road by no more than 5.6m - total new hardstanding area created will be no more than 11.5 sq.m.) prior to carrying out all necessary ecological measures required under condition 13.
The councillors were shown photos, plans and drawings. The Assistant Planning Manager explained that this application was for a variation to a pre-commencement condition to allow for a small section of the access road to be built to enable the planning permission to be implemented. She explained that the application was for the amendment to Condition 13 only and not the reserved matters application. The road would allow access for future works. Ecological surveys, including for Japanese Knotweed, have been completed, however the developer will still have to fulfil all ecological obligations for the rest of the development.
Councillor Rankin spoke as Ward Councillor. He received reports from residents that the Japanese Knotweed is present on the application site and explained that an independent survey is necessary before proceeding with any development.
The Councillors asked questions about the Japanese Knotweed on-site and the ways to mitigate the possibility of it spreading from other parts of the development in due course. Planning Officers confirmed that the survey on the site was completed by qualified specialists who provided independent opinion. What is more, condition 14 of this application is referring to the Japanese Knotweed Management Plan. The watching brief will supervise works to check for the presence of Knotweed on site. The build of the small part of the access road will be relatively short without any interference to the rest of the development.
Councillor Davies proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Roberts
