Plans for 154 homes on the edge of Bristol are set to be approved.<\/p>\n
South Gloucestershire<\/a> councillors are being advised to grant permission<\/a> for the development at Mulgrove Farm Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n The former agricultural site is part of the huge East of Harry Stoke New Neighbourhood<\/a>, which the local authority removed from the greenbelt and included in its main planning policies in 2013.<\/p>\n Developers Wain Homes have already built about half of the homes on its new estate north of the railway line and sandwiched between the Stoke Gifford bypass and the B4427 Old Gloucester Road following previous planning consent<\/a> for a total of 327 properties and a primary school and nursery.<\/p>\n Their \u201creserved matters\u201d application for detailed proposals for the remaining buildings has been called-in to South Gloucestershire Council<\/a> strategic sites delivery committee amid concerns about a lack of visitor parking spaces.<\/p>\n A report to the meeting on Thursday, May 29, said there were just 19 for the 154 homes in the original plans but that planning officers had since worked with the applicants to find places for nine more.<\/p>\n Sign up to receive daily news updates and breaking news alerts straight to your inbox for free <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n It said that this was still three short of the 31 required by the authority\u2019s policy but that Wain Homes overprovided 20 visitor spaces when the company built phase one, creating an overall surplus of 17.<\/p>\n The report said the council\u2019s self-build officer had lodged an objection because of a lack of information but that a previous agreement bound the developers to provide these plots, so this was not sufficient to refuse permission.<\/p>\n It said another condition of the initial outline consent had secured 37 of the homes to be classed as \u201caffordable\u201d, and the applicants had confirmed that they would provide an additional 20.<\/p>\n The report said: \u201cThrough extensive negotiations with the applicant, revisions and additional information have been received.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are some very limited matters that have not been resolved, and these need to be considered in the planning balance.<\/p>\n \u201cThis includes the minor outstanding landscaping and public open space details, and the lack of details regarding the self and custom build plots.<\/p>\n \u201cNevertheless, this report has assessed each of these instances and it is not considered that any significant harm would arise.<\/p>\n \u201cAs such, officers consider the weight applied to these matters should be very limited in nature.<\/p>\n \u201cThe main benefit of the scheme is the provision of 117 market homes and 37 affordable homes.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is given significant weight in the planning balance.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is considered that the benefits of the development clearly and demonstrably outweigh the harms.\u201d<\/p>\n Try BristolLive Premium for FREE without intrusive ads and brilliant new features<\/p>\n No intrusive adverts, pop-ups or distractions!
