Minutes
The committee considered a report which provided an update on the progress of the Manydown project. The Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Property summarised the report, highlighting key areas. He stated that good progress had been made and the joint venture partnership with Urban&Civic; and the Wellcome Trust was in place. Important future objectives were to accomplish detailed planning, resolve the S106 agreement and proposals for the Country Park. He added that the Manydown Development Vehicle (MDV) was in place and a priority was to bring forward the MDV’s Overarching Business Plan. The MGC LLP Business Plan and Budget for 2021 had also been approved by the two councils at the last board meeting.
MGC LLP would be completing work on proposals relating to Affordable Housing and the Manydown Standard for review by the MGC board and discussion with the joint venture partners.
He further summarised the comments of the Manydown Overview Committee following its consideration of a project update report. Comments related to passivhaus, the timeline for reserved matters applications, sustainability, tree planting if buildings could not be net zero carbon, utility channels to limit disruption, management of the Country Park, archaeological surveys and ownership of the Manydown Standard. He added that on a site the size of Manydown co-ordination of utilities was important, there was a desire to push for electric development and the planting of trees and an aspiration to increase biodiversity. He confirmed that following achieving outline planning consent and the land drawn down process it was anticipated that infrastructure works would begin by the end of the year with the potential to start house building later in 2022. He added that the management of the Country Park would considered as part of the overarching business plan of the MDV.
He further confirmed that in relation to the Southern Manydown project, representations had been submitted in response to the Issues and Options consultation of the Local Plan Update.
