Variation of Conditions 3 and 4 of planning permission 17/01543/FULM for the development of a 253 unit residential care community.

The committee received the report of the interim Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site and details of the responses to the application. 

The Development Management Team Leader explained that the application sought a variation of Conditions 3 and 4 of planning permission 17/01543/FULM for the development of a 253 unit residential care community (C2 planning use class) for people above 55 years of age and with communal facilities including health club, swimming pool, café/restaurant and a multi-purpose village hall with associated landscaping, amenity space, access and parking and provision of a new path to link Stripling Way with the wider development site.  Variation for an amended elevation design of the approved buildings and amendments to the roof gardens.

The Chair invited, Benedict Krauze, Audley Group, to speak to the committee.  Mr Krauze outlined the reasons for the application returning to committee, explaining that alterations to the external appearance had been required following significant cost increases.  Some non-material amendments had also been agreed with officers, but the proposed elevation changes, although not compromising the design, required a committee decision. 

It was noted that the developer had sent committee members an information pack setting out the proposed changes in more detail.

The Chair invited comments from the committee.

Although some concerns were expressed about the need for the application to return to committee, members accepted that the proposed changes were relatively minor and were necessary to improve the commercial viability of the development.

The Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
