RESOLVED – That the Planning and Highways Regulation Committee be recommended to grant planning permission but that they be requested to give further consideration and be informed of the following:-

·         Access issues and parking on Tatton Road South both during construction and after completion and the effect on commuter parking. Councillors were of the opinion that further regulation was not necessarily the answer to any concerns.

·         Councillors were of the opinion that the suggestion that the housing estate would produce around 50 school age children was a conservative estimate and that realistically they would be divided between 3 and not 7 schools as suggested.

·         The Committee were of the opinion that a 25% provision of affordable housing should be conditioned.

·         The Committee were of the opinion that 75% of the affordable housing provision should be made available for rent.
