This is a supplementary report following the deferral of the original planning application at the committee of 5th June 2024.  Members agreed to defer the application for consideration only so as to allow further information regarding highways impacts to be obtained.   The previous application was considered to suitably deal with these issues reporting that the plans submitted show that safe entrance and exit can be achieved for vehicles that are likely to carry out the work. A temporary parking restriction will also be imposed to allow this to occur safely.  Since this meeting, Staffordshire County Council have provided additional information on the consultation response. This can be found at appendix A.  All the other considerations remain the same as the previous report which is attached to this supplementary report. 

 

The Officer presented the report.

 

Brendan Dale, Agent spoke in favour of the application

 

Officers presented the item and responded to issues and questions raised, including:

 

Clarified that the additional information on the consultation response from Staffordshire County Council was received on 10th July and not on 7th February (date had not changed from original report) and this information was not available before June’s planning meeting and includes the additional condition. 

As the Capacity Planning been updated since 2018 does it include the 1,000 homes already built on the Ashby Road? This is a demolition management plan; the application is determined on how much traffic does the demolition of the buildings generate. As an operational site the College generates traffic this will be considerably less whilst its being demolished.

Why are the 8 conditions not referenced in the report being discussed tonight.  The Planning officer confirmed the application came back for the deferral reasons

A discussion took place around the traffic management plan and whether sections of the Road should include 20-mile hour speed limit restrictions specifically on Croft Street and the one-way system and on the A513 Upper Gungate

 

The following motion was moved

The Traffic Management Plan should be brought to the earliest planning committee for review with the potential to include the 20mph speed restrictions for review and feedback by members. 

 

(Moved by Councillor S Smith and seconded by Councillor P Turner)
