The Team Leader (Southern) confirmed that a sum of £164,500 had been offered by the developer in order to contribute to the offsite provision of affordable housing in Ross-on-Wye, this sum would be secured through a section 106 agreement. He advised Members that a condition should be added to restrict the sale of the dwellings to Ross-on-Wye residents or people with strong links to the area for a limited time. He also advised that a condition should be added regarding the age range of the occupants of the units.

 

Councillor Mrs. C.J. Davis, the Local Ward Member, noted the concerns of the residents and the Parish Council regarding problems with foul drainage in the area. As a result of this she felt that she could not support the application.

 

Some Members raised concerns regarding the suitability of the proposed design in this location.

 

In response to a number of concerns raised by Members, the Team Leader (Southern) advised that Welsh Water and the Environment Agency had raised no objections to the application and felt that the development should not have an adverse effect on the drainage system.

 

A motion to refuse the application failed and the Sub-Committee subsequently agreed the resolution detailed below.
