Stones
Farm Planning Update
In respect of
the Approval of Reserved Matters for mixed-use development relating to
appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of 311 dwellings and 650 sqm of
neighbourhood shopping/community facilities pursuant to outline planning
permission 14/501588/OUT, Land at Stones Farm - was approved on 3rd
October 2019 subject to the following design review:
Conditions
in respect of road layout, use of local materials, and parking. The
Parish Council our Ward Member (Cllr Monique Bonney) to be involved in further
discussions once Chartway have produced amended drawings in respect of the
conditions imposed and if agreement was not possible the application would
return to the Planning Committee.
The Parish
Council actively engaged in the review process, but were still concerned about
the traffic impact of the scheme. Due to the current social distancing
provisions we made a final written appeal to the planning committee meeting
held on 28th May 2020, which regrettably did not gain support and
councillors approved the application on 28th May 2020 to allow the
scheme to proceed.
The applicant
currently has Hybrid approval for up to 600 dwellings and at present has
provided detailed planning for 311 units. The timescales for later applications
will be set by the developer and we have been advised they expect the build
programme to be over 6 years.
The Parish
Council and residents will again have an opportunity to comment when the
remaining units are submitted for their “Reserved Matters” approval. The final
layout of the residents parking area on Fox Hill is still being modified and
will be available for comment in due course.
