Parish:  Malborough

Changes following Member debate:

Additional clause for 106 proposed:

The 50/50 option tenure split for affordable housing should only be used if it is demonstrated that the 30/30/40 split cannot be delivered.

 

Amendment to proposed 106 clause to read:

Access to and ongoing management and maintenance of POS, southern boundary hedgerow and SUDs in perpetuity

 

Amendment to proposed informative 2:

Any reserved matter(s) application should provide a mix of housing tenures, types and sizes to help support the creation of a mixed, balanced and inclusive community.  The Council would normally seek a mix on the following basis:

35% 1and 2 bedroom properties

35% 3 bedroom properties

30% 4 bedroom properties;

unless it can be demonstrated that the local need is for a different mix.

 

Additional informatives:

Any reserved matters application should reflect the need to provide a robust hedgerow/Devon bank along the southern site boundary and this hedgerow should not be included within any domestic curtilage but should be managed and maintained as part of the public open space management scheme.

 

Any reserved matters application should demonstrate adequate parking for residents and visitors.  The Malborough Neighbourhood Plan proposes a policy that garages should not be counted as parking spaces and this should be taken into consideration.

 

Any future reserved matters application should have regard to the applicants Design and Access Statement, with particular reference to the provision of houses up to 1.5 stories only on the southern site boundary.

 

 

 

Additional condition:

Any reserved matters submission shall include details of how layout has sought to maximise passive solar gain
