(The Report of the Portfolio Holder for Regeneration)

Minutes:

The Portfolio Holder for Regeneration briefed Members on the latest consultation from Lichfield District Council in respect of new information provided to support a planning application on a location identified within the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy as a Broad Development Location centred on land to the north of Tamworth Borough.

 

RESOLVED:

That Members noted that

1

Lichfield District Council be asked to refuse the application based on the issues outlined in this report;

 

2

if they are minded to approve, that appropriate provision be made within the planning consent for developer obligations in respect of primary and secondary school provision; highway infrastructure; affordable housing; indoor and outdoor sports facilities and that Tamworth Borough Council is actively involved in discussions to secure these contributions;

 

3

that the level of affordable housing provision should conform to the requirements set out in Tamworth’s Local Plan identifying the mix of housing types and tenures. Nomination rights for these dwellings should be prioritised for Tamworth Borough residents; and

 

4

that if a ‘monitor and manage’ approach is accepted by Lichfield District council to control the size of the development based on highway capacity, then this should be achieved through a Section 106 agreement rather than conditions to ensure it is robust and enforceable.
