RESOLVED: That application 25/02234/S73 be GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager, amended as follows:
a) The completion of a satisfactory Deed of Variation or other legal mechanism that secures the S106 obligations agreed as part of the Outline Application (18/01502/OP) and the applicant agreeing to extend the statutory period to complete it, if required.
b) Delegation of power to the Development and Conservation Manager to:
(i) Resolve any outstanding matters,
(ii) Update conditions and informatives with minor amendments as required and,
(iii) Authorise the completion of other legal mechanism if not completed through a satisfactory Deed of Variation.
RESOLVED: That application 21/00765/OP be REFUSED planning permission for the following reasons:
a) The site, if developed, would fail to provide adequate opportunity for travel by residents and visitors by non-car transport modes and would therefore be contrary to paragraphs 110, 115 and 116 of the NPPF and adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan policy SP9.
b) The site was not an allocated housing site within the adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan and was located outside the settlement boundary of Royston and within the rural area beyond the Green Belt. It was therefore in conflict with policies SP5 and CGB1 of the adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan.
