Mr Damian Manhertz (Development Management Team Leader, South) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. Members heard that the scheme complied with planning policy objectives and was in general conformity with local, regional and national policy. The efficient use of the land would result in a substantial number of new homes, helping to meet housing targets, and secure the maximum viable proportion of affordable housing. It was considered that the form of development would have an acceptable impact on and relationship with the existing surrounding development without undue harm to the surrounding amenity. Mr Manhertz explained that a well-considered landscape strategy was proposed which, combined with the proposed standard of design and layout of buildings, would ensure a high standard of development and a good quality residential environment for future occupiers. He then referenced the supplementary report which set out additional representations and officers’ responses to them.
