Decision details

Decision

Recommendation A:

RESOLVED that, subject to completion of a 106 agreement within 6 months of the date of the committee resolution to secure Management and Maintenance of Play space and SuDS, provision of 40% affordable housing and financial contributions towards: Education, Transport and Environmental Improvements, permission be GRANTED subject to Conditions and Informatives as detailed in the agenda report.

Recommendation B:

RESOVLED that if the requirements of Recommendation A are not met, permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1.         The applicant has failed to enter into an appropriate agreement to secure the provision of affordable housing within the meaning of the NPPF, appropriate to meet Waverley Borough Council’s housing need. The proposal would therefore fail to create a sustainable, inclusive and mixed community, contrary to Policy AHN1 of the Local Plan Part 1 (2018) and the requirements of paragraph 50 of the NPPF.

2.         The applicant has failed to enter into an appropriate legal agreement to secure contributions towards education, leisure and environmental improvements. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy ICS1 of the Local Plan Part 1 (2018), and paragraphs 7 and 17 of the NPPF.
