(Blatchcombe Ward)

The Committee considered an application for mixed use development to form approx 220 dwellings, approx 5,600 SQM gross of employment (B1) floor space, local centre and public open space with roads and car parking (In Outline) which was a departure from The Torbay Local Plan.

Prior to the Committee a supplemental officer report entitled “Yannons Farm - Draft s106 – Key Heads of Terms “ was circulated to members.  At the meeting David Seaton addressed the Committee against the application and Simon Longthorpe addressed the Committee in support of the application.

Resolved:

Approval be delegated to the Executive Head for Spatial Planning in consultation with the Chairman of the Committee subject to the completion of the s.106 Agreement in accordance with the supplemental officer report entitled “Yannons Farm - Draft s106 – Key Heads of Terms” and the resolution of outstanding Section 106 matters in relation to access to third party land to ensure that the terms of the s.106 Agreement are lawful.

If for whatever reason the Executive Head for Spatial Planning is not able to agree the above to his satisfaction then the application will be returned to the Development Management Committee for determination.
