Minutes: Officers provided additional information in relation to the proposed residential development, with regards to: Highway, Contaminated Land, Air Quality Matters and Urban Design matters, further to additional comments received from Highway Consultant Mott McDonald, Worcestershire Highways Authority and Worcestershire Regulatory Services; proposals for amending Conditions 6 and 7; with the addition of seven further Conditions; and amended Section 106 contributions towards the provision of enhanced education facilities at Stoke Prior First School, Shared Aston Fields and St John’s Middle and South Bromsgrove High, all as detailed in the published Update Report, copies of which were provided to Committee Members and the public gallery prior to commencement of the meeting. Officers also provided a verbal update on comments received from the Council’s Drainage Engineers who had no objections to the development.
The Committee then considered the Application, which had been recommended for approval by Officers. Having considered the Officer’s report and Update, Members queried why there was no mention in the Section 106 details for the provision of wheelie bins for the proposed development; and that funding should be sought from the developer. Officers explained that this had been omitted from the application as approved in 2015 but could be rectified through the amended S106 agreement should Members be minded to approve the Application. In response to Members queries, Officers also provided clarification as to why the NHS had not sought contributions under the original or this amended Application.

The attached additional item of business has been included in the Agenda previously distributed relating to the above mentioned meeting, as the matter requires the Committee’s decision as soon as possible and which the Chairman considers to be sufficiently urgent that it cannot wait until the next meeting. Additional documents:
Minutes: (The Chairman agreed to the consideration of this item as a matter of urgency because a decision was required thereon before the next meeting of the Committee.)
The Committee considered a report which detailed the withdrawal of Public Path Diversion Order 2014 (Bridleway, No AV-528 (C) (Part)), Ash Lane Bromsgrove (the “Order”) made under s257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Members were asked to note that there was a typographical error in the order in that it should have been Public Path Order 2017 and not 2014.
Officers drew Members’ attention to Appendices 1 and 2 to the report and provided clarification on matters raised. Officers explained that because of the scale of amendments required, they were proposing to deal with the amendment by a new order rather than by modifications at confirmation stage.
Members were asked to approve the withdrawal of the Order so that it could be replaced by a more comprehensive order.
RESOLVED that the withdrawal of Public Path Diversion Order 2014 (Bridleway, No AV-528 (C) (Part)), Ash Lane Bromsgrove (the “Order”) made under s257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, be approved. |
