Members were reminded that at the Development
Control Sub Committee meeting held on 25 September 2006 it was resolved to
grant planning permission for the above proposal. The decision was referred to the Government Office for the South
East as the proposal comprised over 150 dwellings in a greenfield
location. The Government Office had
confirmed that the proposal together with that for the regeneration of East
Cowes submitted by SEEDA and English Partnerships would not be ‘called in’ and
as such planning permission could be issued.
Discussions had continued between the applicants and officers over the
detailed wording of the Legal Agreement and the proposed planning conditions.
The Section 106 Agreement was now ready to
be signed and Committee approval was sought for that.
An e mail had been received from the
adjoining member Councillor Muriel Miller, who had been unable to attend the
meeting, raising several points relating to part of the site being earmarked
for marine use land, noise and dust and the management scheme to include Osborne
Middle School. An additional condition
was to be included that the oil receptors be maintained.
RESOLVED :
(i)
THAT the proposed
conditions to be applied to the planning permission for Kingston be agreed.
(ii)
THAT delegated authority
be given to officers if conditions need to be further adjusted.
