The Committee considered a report on this application, set out in agenda pages 297 to 310 and the update Item No 78- Supplementary Agenda.

The Committee were advised that updates contained within the Supplementary Planning Agenda included:

·         A change to the recommendations following legal advice.

Emy Circuit, case officer, explained to Members that following legal advice, the recommendations had been changed to making a formal decision, as opposed to noting an update.

Councillor Smith sought clarity on the delivery of the school and asked whether that would now be paid for by developers rather than by the Council.  The case officer confirmed that this was the case. Councillor Smith urged the building to commence as quickly as possible. Connor Corrigan told Members that the plan was to be building houses in a years’ time.

Councillor Skuse queried how the negotiations took place to allow the developers to pay for parts of the development that were originally going to be paid for by the Council. The case officer explained that the developer’s interest was such that they were dependent on the delivery of the road to start the building.

Councillor Shepherd-Dubey asked that the school and the community facility be made as separate entities. Connor Corrigan assured Members that they would be two separate buildings and lessons had been learnt from the past.

Councillor Cornish urged developers to start development as soon as possible.

It was proposed by Councillor Cornish and seconded by Councillor Shepherd-Dubey to approve the officer recommendations.
