Land At 43 to 45 Vespasian Road / 11/00959/FUL PDF 286 KB Report of the Planning and Development Manager recommending a variation to the S106 agreement signed in connection with the granting of planning permission for a development at the above address, attached. Additional documents: Minutes: Application to waive the requirement to provide affordable housing (5x 2-bed flats) at 43-45 Vespasian Road under the relevant clauses and schedules of planning agreement dated 10th May 2002, signed in connection with the granting of planning permission reference 00/00320/FUL.
Mr Evans (Sea Cadets Chairman) was present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.
UPON BEING PUT TO THE VOTE THE AMENDED OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORISE THE HEAD OF LEGAL AND DEMOCRATIC SERVICES TO ENTER INTO A DEED OF VARIATION PRIOR TO ANY LAND TRANSFER TO RELEASE THE LAND FROM THE REQUIREMENT THAT IT IS USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND RESTRICT THE USE OF LAND TO COMMUNITY USE WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
RESOLVED that authority be given for the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to enter into a deed of variation prior to any land transfer to release the land from the requirement that it is used for affordable housing and restrict the use of the land to community use.
REASONS FOR DECISION
It is considered reasonable to remove the requirement to provide affordable housing at 43-45 Vespasian Road under the relevant clauses and schedules of planning agreement dated 10th May 2002, signed in connection with the granting of planning permission reference 00/00320/FUL. This is because the applicant has demonstrated that there are sequentially preferable sites to develop for housing, which are not located within a high category flood risk zone, as advised by Planning Policy Statement 25 (Flood Risk). The Local Planning Authority is also satisfied that even if habitable accommodation within a building were raised up above the relevant level, a satisfactory means of escape away from the site in times of flood could not be achieved successfully. This is in respect of adverse visual/amenity impact of some form of gantry oversailing the highway and the prohibitive cost of constructing and maintaining such a means of escape in terms of the overall viability of such a development. As such, the Local Planning Authority is satisfied that 43-45 Vespasian Road should no longer be developed residentially. By providing an alternative requirement to develop the land for community group use purposes, the agreement will continue to serve a useful purpose to the wider benefit of the local community. |
