The Planning Development Manager reported that the Planning and Orders Committee held in April, 2014 resolved to refuse the amendment to the resolution previously made in respect of the affordable dwellings contrary to the Officer’s recommendation.  In accordance with the requirements of the Constitution the application will be automatically deferred to the next meeting to allow the Officer’s to respond to the reasons given for approving the application.

The Planning and Orders Committee at its meeting in November, 2013 approved the application subject to a requirement that 6 of the units be affordable at 85%.  The planning application is made for 17 dwellings and 30% affordable units would equate to 5.1.  Following discussion with Officers it was agreed that the number of affordable housing units required in connection with the development was reduced to 3.  The Council’s Affordable Housing Advisor was consulted following Members recent decision and has advised given the estimated sales value of the completed dwelling at £116,000 and the estimated profit securing 3 affordable dwellings at 85% market value is considered a successful outcome. 

The Planning Development Manager further stated that the applicant has stated that he will appeal the decision of the Committee to refuse the application.  It was stated that the Planning Officer and the Affordable Housing Advisor were unable to represent the Council in such an appeal. 

Following deliberations it was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions listed in the written report.
