Minutes:

Erection of 10no. dwellings including the creation of a new access road following the demolition of 77 and 79 Deepfield Road.(Resubmission 15/00445/FUL)

 

A site visit had been held on Saturday 14 July 2018, which had been attended by Councillors Angell, Brossard, Dudley, Mrs Ingham, Mrs McKenzie and Thompson.

 

The Committee noted:

 

·         The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting.

·         The comments of Bracknell Town Council recommending refusal of the application.

·         The three letters of objection were received from five neighbouring properties.

 

It was noted by the Committee thatDeepfield Road was covered by a Resident's Parking Zone (RPZ); and that the new residential estate serving this site should be included within the RPZ. This would not prevent existing residents, and their visitors from parking along the new access road; though it would limit this to existing permits holders, and those properties outside of the zone would be restricted from parking along this new access road. The cost of this should be secured via s106 obligation. The road was being sought for adoption; and if it were excluded from the RPZ, then this would not preclude vehicles from parking on-street, or any parking bays within it. Therefore, it was advised that by including the new development in the RPZ it would protect parking in the area for all those concerned.

 

Following debate, the Committee agreed an additional sum to be used by the Council to provide a Traffic Regulation Order on the access road to prevent on street parking, this would be secured through a section 106 Agreement.

 

Following the completion of planning obligation(s) under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to:-

 

- Measures to avoid and mitigate the impact of residential development upon the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA).

- Contribution towards Deepfield Road being covered by RPZ Zone.

- Contriution towards the Traffic Regulation Order.
