Agenda item

Provision of new and improved green infrastructure including hedge and hedge bank creation.

The Committee considered a report of the Senior Planning Officer regarding an application for the provision of new and improved green infrastructure including hedge and hedge bank creation at land to the south of Wellfield Road, Wingate (for copy see file of Minutes)

The Senior Planning Officer gave a detailed presentation on the application which included photographs of the site. Members had visited the site earlier in the day and were familiar with the location and setting.

In response to a query from Councillor Davinson, the Senior Planning Officer advised that it was not always reasonable to expect developers to deliver the requirements of a S106 agreement with nothing on site, therefore the developer would be required in this instance, to deliver upon occupation of the 30^th dwelling.

Resolved:

That the application be approved, subject to the conditions outlined in the report.
