The Committee considered a report seeking approval to the variation to the Section 106 Agreement for a development of residential housing at Owston Road, Carcroft.

 

It was advised that outline planning permission was granted under delegated authority on the 16th December, 2019, with the decision being subject to a Section 106 Agreement dated 13th December, 2019. The Agreement sought to deliver the following objections:-

 

·         Delivery of 26% on site built units for affordable housing. The tenure split 75% to be Social Rented dwellings and 25% to be Shared Ownership dwellings;

·         Commuted sum of £201,267.00 to provide 11 secondary school places at Outwood Academy; and

·         On site Public Open Space (POS) and scheme for maintenance.

 

Committee were informed of the background to the application and its subsequent amendments. It was advised that the applicant had submitted a Deed of Variation accompanied by a Full Viability Appraisal (FVA) concurrently        with the submission of the Reserved Matters application.

 

In September 2023, the FVA was assessed by an independent external consultant and the conclusion of the assessment showed that the scheme with   the policy compliant amount of affordable housing and education contributions            would make the scheme unviable.

 

Committee noted the amendment to the report at paragraph 4 which should read ‘This report does not contain exempt information’.

 

Before members went into debate the Legal Officer outlined the relevant tests for modifying s106 obligations. Advice was given that the usual planning considerations are not engaged in such a case and the question for Members was whether the planning obligations continued to serve a useful purpose in the public interest such that they should be maintained and the request refused, or alternatively that they no longer served a useful purpose in order that the request should be approved.

 

During debate Members discussed the impacts on education provision.

Members sought that the report be deferred to the next Committee meeting to allow officers from Education to attend and provide Committee with further education information.

 

            RESOLVED the report be deferred to the next meeting to allow                    officers from Education to attend and provide further information on             the impacts on education provision.
