unit numbers. Option 1 - reduced to 64 units and Option 2 - reduced to 57 correct the erroneous calculation of 50+ units, there
units. The sketches seek to address the concerns of the DRP by easing should be no more than 25 dwellings on the site
relationships between blocks and the boundaries, introducing balconies, (including affordable housing)
reducing parking/hardstanding (including in the woodland buffer), resulting
in a lower density scheme. Noted that both were subject to review by the
applicant
1.17 SK thought that a withdrawal followed by a pre-application might be the
preferred approach. DP explained that contractually, this is not an option
open to the applicant.
Also. DP/FT felt the issues raised could be addressed with(in) the framework of
the current scheme and did not require a complete re-design.
SK advised that MSDC were open to the possibility of an extension of
time/revision of the application if it was believed that there was a prospect of
a negotiated outcome that officers could recommend.
It was requested that SK consider an extension of time instead to allow for
such negotiation, on the basis of the sketch schemes described above.
