Agenda item

- 14/00575/FUL - Proposed erection of 106 dwellings and associated infrastructure at Sandymoor South, Phase 1, Land off Walsingham Drive, Sandymoor, Runcorn, Cheshire, WA7 1QD

Minutes:

The consultation procedure undertaken was outlined in the report together with background information in respect of the site.

 

Members were advised that since publication of the agenda, National Grid had confirmed that they raised no objections to the scheme and Cheshire Wildlife Trust had responded with recommendations for further conditions and a legal agreement.  In response it was noted that a number of these had been addressed through the previous permissions and the ongoing ecological works currently being undertaken.  The remainder of their recommendations would be included in the conditions.

 

Information was also submitted via the Update List which related to the receipt of amended plans which showed an appropriate footpath and cycleway link from the existing Ride to the route of the proposed less formal Ride extension via a bridge structure.  Further, the provision of appropriate levels of filtration of surface water prior to discharge had been addressed through the inclusion of bypass interceptors within the drainage scheme to separate contaminants prior to discharge to watercourse.  These items would be secured by planning conditions.

  

Members agreed that authority be delegated to the Operational Director – Policy, Planning and Transportation, to approve the scheme subject to the listed conditions and inclusion of the additional conditions as above.
