In the event of the S106 agreement not being completed by 30th June 2024, the Assistant Director: Planning be authorised to either extend the period further or refuse the application for the following reasons: -

 

01        In the absence of a planning obligation to secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures and access management monitoring arrangements, in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, the proposal would be contrary to Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), Policy NRM6 of the South East Plan, Policy EN3 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS14 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Supplementary Planning Document (2018).

 

02        The proposed development would unacceptably increase the pressure on highways and transportation infrastructure and public open space.  In the absence of a planning obligation in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, and which secure contributions towards open space, biodiversity and community facilities, the proposal is contrary to Policies R5 and M4 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan and CS6, CS8, and CS24 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and to the Planning Obligations SPD and the NPPF.

 

03  In the absence of a planning obligation to secure a biodiversity net gain which would deliver measurable improvements for biodiversity by creating or enhancing habitats in association with the development the proposal is contrary to paras 8c and 170d of the NPPF

 

04  In the absence of a planning obligation to secure an appropriate level of affordable housing the proposal is contrary to policy LP16 of the Local Plan 2024.

 

05 In the absence of a planning obligation to secure payments to monitor the required SuDS scheme it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would incorporate a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) for the management of surface water run-off which would be maintained for the lifetime of the development. This is contrary to the House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS161) Sustainable Drainage Systems 18/12/2014, the Flood Risk and Coastal Change PPG updated 15/04/2015, and the NPPF.

 

A Recorded Vote was called for by Councillor Hayes and the voting on the motion was as follows:

 

FOR (5): Councillors Brown, Collings, Frewer, O’Regan and Penfold

 

AGAINST (5): Councillors Barnard, Hayes, McKenzie-Boyle, Smith, Zahuruddin

 

The vote was therefore carried, by the Chair, Councillor Brown’s casting vote.
