DC/2024/01694 - Land East Of Damfield Lane/Bournehurst Drive, Maghull Report of the Chief Planning Officer Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for a proposed extra care development comprising 129 no. apartments including solar panels to the roof, with internal and external amenity spaces and associated parking, access and landscaping, be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report.
Arising from the discussion a Member referred to condition No. 26 which limited the development to occupants aged 55 or over and enquired if there could be a lower age limit to accommodate younger occupants with specific needs.
It was reported that the condition was at the request of the developer, and from a highways point of view the proposed car parking provision was based on car parking standards which related specifically to an extra care unit for the elderly and did not provide enough parking spaces for a general C3 use class.
Members requested that consideration be given to an alternative wording which would allow for an exception to the age limit based on specific need.
RESOLVED:
That the recommendation be approved and the application be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report and in Late Representations, subject to Natural England raising no objection, and the Chief Planning Officer being given delegated authority to enable the completion of a revised and updated Section 106 Agreement and planning conditions and to review the age limit set out in the condition No. 26 with the Highways Manager |
