Minutes:

Variation of Condition 4 (Approved Drawings) to allow the enlargement of the single storey rear additions, changes to disabled facilities and fenestration on Plots 6 and 7 of planning permission granted 16/11/10, ref. 59214/APP/2010/1776: Erection of 8 detached and 6 semi-detached dwellings with associated access, parking and landscaping.

 

Officers introduced the report informing members of the variations that were being proposed to the already approved scheme. 

 

In answer to an issue raised regarding the disabled facilities, officers advised that the change was to provide a through ceiling lift and would not impact on the other disabled facilities being provided.

 

The recommendation was moved, seconded and on being put to the vote was agreed.

 

Resolved –

 

That subject to no additional responses being received that raise relevant material planning considerations that have not already been considered in this report, delegated powers be given to the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces to grant planning permission, subject to the following:

 

(i) A financial contribution of £117,713 for education facilities and places

(ii) A financial contribution of £11,678.51 for healthcare facilities and places.

(iii) A financial contribution of £20,000 towards community facilities/the public realm.

(iv) A financial contribution of £1,239.70 towards libraries.

(v) A financial contribution towards training initiatives equal to £2,500 for every £1 million build cost.

(vi) The applicants pay a sum to the Council of 5% of the value of contributions for specified requirements to project manage and oversee implementation of elements of the completed planning (and/or highways) agreement(s).

(vii) The applicant shall agree to the full and complete costs to undertake the necessary works, as identified by the Council, for off site highway works, including:

 

a) Junction improvements to the site access with Ducks Hill Road

 

(viii) Agreement that if the applicant implements this planning permission, they will not implement any other planning permissions for this site.

 

2. That in respect of the application for planning permission, the applicant meets the Council's reasonable costs in the preparation of the S106 Agreement and any abortive work as a result of the agreement not being completed.

 

3. That if any of the heads of terms set out above have not been agreed and the S106 legal agreement has not been finalised by the 08th July 2013, or any other period deemed appropriate by the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces then delegated authority be granted to the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces to refuse the application for the following reason:

 

The applicant has failed to provide contributions towards the improvement of services and facilities as a consequence of demands created by the proposed development (in respect of education, health, community facilities and libraries, construction and employment training facilities, monitoring and highway junction works). The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy R17 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two Saved UDP Policies (November 2012).

 

4. That subject to the above, the application be deferred for determination by the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces under delegated powers, subject to the completion of the legal agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and other appropriate powers with the applicant.

 

5. That if the application is approved, the conditions and informatives set out in the officer’s report be attached.
