Site for residential and associated development, including linear park and site access.

It was reported that the following updates had been received:-

 

Welsh Water state that they have been provided with additional information which demonstrated that the proposals would not result in an increase in flows to the public sewerage system.  They ask that conditions and advisory notes be incorporated within the planning consent  relating  to drainage of the site.

 

The applicant’s agent has submitted a copy of a letter e-mailed to all Members of the Committee, which included a Technical Briefing Note on Drainage Issues.

 

No changes were proposed to the recommendation.  Paragraph 6.4 of the report should be corrected: the capacity available for foul effluent would allow for development of both the Tanyard Lane site and the laundry site.

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr Sacket the agent acting for the applicant spoke in support of his application.

 

 

Several concerns were expressed by local ward Councillors regarding foul and surface water drainage of the site and the proposals for the new roundabout on the Ross Relief road which would provide access to the site. The Principal Planning Officer said that the drainage issues would be controlled by conditions and he outlined what the disposal arrangements would be.  The application was an outline one and that the details would be incorporated within the planning obligation to be prepared by the officers which would address the concerns raised by Members.  He also said that the proposed roundabout would be the subject of a separate application.  The Southern Team Leader reminded Members that the site was identified for development within the Herefordshire Unitary Development Plan which would shortly be adopted.  He said that the outline permission needed to be granted in order that a detailed application could be dealt with.  Members asked a number of questions about the proposals.
