The Committee considered a report regarding Planning Application No. CB/16/02971/OUT, an outline application seeking detailed approval of vehicular and pedestrian access only, with all other matters reserved; for the creation of 16 self-build homes and all associated works including surface water attenuation, car parking and landscaping on land at Chapel End Road and London Lane, Houghton Conquest, Beds. MK45 3LN.
In advance of consideration of the application the Committee’s attention was drawn to additional comments as set out in the Late Sheet.
No representations were made.
The Committee considered the application and in summary discussed the following:
· The payment of a commuted sum of £290,400, on a date to be agreed, by the applicant in lieu of the onsite provision of affordable housing. This followed the receipt of evidence that Registered Providers would not be able to/willing to deliver such housing. The commuted sum would be delivered by a s106 Agreement and the sum put towards future affordable housing within Central Bedfordshire.
· The means by which the level of the commuted sum had been reached. The planning officer reported this was the first self-build scheme with an affordable housing contribution it and had therefore been submitted for an independent viability assessment. A methodology had since been agreed which could be used for further such schemes in the future.
On being put to the vote 11 Members voted for approval, 0 voted against and 1 abstained.
RESOLVED
that Planning Application No. CB/16/02971/OUT relating to land at Chapel End Road and London Lane, Houghton Conquest, Beds. MK45 3LN be approved as set out in the Schedule attached to these minutes.
