PAN
MASTERPLAN – SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE
Consideration
was given to the Pan Masterplan, which had been produced by the Council’s
consultants. The draft Supplemental
Planning Guidance addressed the key issues that had been raised through the
various stakeholder workshops and public consultation that had taken
place. The document set out the overall
vision for the development of the Pan Urban Extension along with the urban
design principles and how these would be delivered.
The
majority of the land was in the ownership of the Council and the UDP had
allocated the site for housing and employment development. Members discussed the percentage allocated
for affordable housing and recognised the acute need on the Island for this
type of housing. The potential impact
on the infrastructure was noted and it was anticipated that together with the
employment opportunities provided by the proposed scheme any impact would be kept
to a minimum.
RESOLVED :
THAT the adoption of SPG on the Pan Masterplan,
attached as Appendix 1 of the report be endorsed, subject to any further
changes agreed by the Portfolio Holder in consultation with the Head of
Planning Services (resulting from comments and objections received from the
consultation period)

ISLAND RESIDENTS’ PERMIT FOR LEISUE CAR PARKS
Members were reminded that at the Executive on 2 June 2004 some amendments were approved to the Parking Places Order among them that the introduction of charges adjacent to leisure facilities be deferred pending further investigation.
The
Portfolio Holder briefly outlined a programme of investigations and
consultation needed before an Island wide Resident Parking Permit could be
implemented. The current aim was to
introduce a scheme with a more limited scope as soon as possible. This would enable concerns expressed about
the increased costs to visit recreational
and leisure facilities as a result of the implementation of the Parking Places
Order to be addressed. It was proposed
that a £50 charge be made for the remainder of the financial year for Island
residents to park at the Council’s car
parks adjacent to leisure facilities
which were included in the recent Parking Places Order for the first time. Some members expressed concern that this
may discourage people using the leisure facilities or encourage them to seek
similar facilities elsewhere. However,
this view was balanced by the need to encourage people to use other forms of
transport than the car.
RESOLVED :
THAT a limited resident permit scheme be introduced
together with the new charges.
