Barratt Homes Application PA14/10838 deferred
Cornwall's East Area Planning Committee met today in Bodmin to look at Barratt's planning application for Phase 2. After nearly an hour and a half’s debate, committee members resolved by a vote of 12 to 3 to defer a decision to a later meeting to enable further information to be provided by the applicant in relation to surface water drainage as follows:
1. Details of the maintenance agreement for the occupants and registered provider;
2. The construction details of the flood drainage scheme;
3. Details of the maintenance company to be set up;
4. Details on how the maintenance would be monitored;
5. Further details regarding conditions 4 and 5 as set out in the report.
It was the Planning Authority’s stated opinion that a balance had already been struck in providing sufficient information to allow the application to be decided upon and that any missing detail could be finalised afterwards through conditions attached to any approval. The majority of committee members however disagreed and expressed concerns about allowing the proposal to proceed whilst many questions relating to the maintenance and monitoring of the flood drainage scheme remained unanswered.
Some members of the committee also expressed concern that the planning application was premature in that the Inquest into Susan Norman's death is due to be held in May and its findings could include recommendations for changes to the submitted plans or the building works if already implemented.
