To approve and sign as a correct record the Minutes of the meetings held on 20 September 2022, and to deal with any matters arising.

RESOLVED: that the minutes for the Panel meeting on 20 September 2022, be approved and signed as a correct record.

Report of the Head of Green City & Infrastructure recommending that conditional approval be delegated to the Head of Planning & Economic Development in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address, attached.

The Panel considered the report of the Head of Green City and Infrastructure recommending delegated authority be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

Reserved Matters application sought for Phase 6 of the development known as 'Centenary Quay' (pursuant to outline permission 08/00389/OUT - Environmental Impact Assessment Development) comprising the redevelopment of the site to provide 164 residential units in blocks I2, H2, F, F1, D1, E1 and E3 with associated car parking, storage and associated works incorporating amendments to Condition 03 (approved plans), Condition 11 (Building Heights), Condition 15 (River Edge) and Condition 56 (Parking) of planning permission 08/00389/OUT (Amended Description).

Kerri Bradford (local resident/ objecting), Jim Beavan - Savills (agent), Kate Nicholson, Crest Nicholson South (applicant), and Councillor Warwick Payne  (ward councillor/objecting) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting. Statements received from local residents Emma White, and Hannah Galpin had been circulated to the Panel and published prior to the meeting).

The presenting officer reported amendments and updates to the report as follows:

1.  Amended recommendation – Change to:

Delegate to the Head of Green City and Infrastructure to

(i)  Approve the Habitat Assessment.

(ii)  Secure plan to show area of highway land on Victoria Road to be stopped up.

(iii)  Secure amended plans to secure a 6m turning width for all 90 degree parking spaces.

To then grant planning permission subject to the planning conditions recommended as agreed.

2. Amendment to paragraph 6.2 – remove reference to de-minimis because the changes to layout require a variation of condition.

3. Delete paragraph 6.5 – the tilted balance is not applicable on this reserved matters application because the principle of residential development was established at outline stage.

As the number of apartments in Block F has been reduced (to accommodate the 3bed AH units) a euro bin has been removed and the size of one of the bin stores has been reduced. This has enabled the cycle store to be made slightly larger and accommodate 40 cycle spaces, therefore cycle spaces for Block F apartments are all catered for within the block. The scheme therefore provides 1:1 cycle parking provision.

4. An informative would be added in relation to the provision of street parking on Victoria Road

The Panel then considered the recommendation to delegate authority to the Head of Green City & Infrastructure to grant planning permission.  During discussion on the item members raised the issue and officers agreed that the parking condition should be amended in relation to the allocation of spaces for 3 bed units and that the landscaping condition should be amended to secure public litter bins. 

During discussion on the item, changes to the delegation to officers were made at the request of the Panel following a proposal by Cllr Savage with Cllr Mrs Blatchford as seconder – when put to the vote the Panel voted unanimously to secure EV charging and additional tree planting details ahead of releasing the planning permission.
