Minutes:
The Cabinet considered Report No: CAB/SE/16/043, which sought approval for a new Development Brief for Land at Cavendish Road, Clare.
Councillor Alaric Pugh, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Growth, drew relevant issues to the attention of the Cabinet, including that on 14 July 2016, the Sustainable Development Working Party had considered Report No: SDW/SE/16/007, which had contained the draft Development Brief as Appendix A.
The draft Development Brief had been prepared by consultants acting on behalf of Land Charter Homes. Public consultation was carried out between 9 May and 5 June 2016. Officers were satisfied that the draft Development Brief had been prepared in accordance with the Vision 2031 Development Plan, Core Strategy and the Council’s Protocol for Preparing Development Briefs. A request had been made for the Council to adopt the Development Brief as informal planning guidance.
The Sustainable Development Working Party had supported the proposals contained in the draft Development Brief and commended the early initiative taken by the developers to satisfy a requirement that there needed to be enhancements to pedestrian and cyclist access to and from the site. The expeditious response and assistance given by Highways Officers towards meeting this need and providing a solution was similarly felt to be exemplary.
Councillor Pugh, who was also Ward Member for Clare, reiterated these comments to the Cabinet, adding that the proposals contained in the draft Development Brief were welcomed by the community.
RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL:
That the Development Brief for Land at Cavendish Road, Clare, as contained in Appendix A to Report No: SDW/SE/16/007, be adopted as non-statutory planning guidance.
