Consultation on Cuerdale Garden Village Proposal PDF 100 KB Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed. Minutes: The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report asking committee to consider the consultation from a neighbouring authority on the Cuerdale Garden Village proposal.
The report outlined the key points of the proposal, highlighted potential cross-boundary issues and reminded members of the general duty to co-operate.
The consultation had been discussed at the Development Plan working group and members had agreed that it would be appropriate to object to the proposal in relation to the impact upon the designated Green Belt and that the application had not adequately demonstrated that it had met the test of ‘very special circumstances’.
It was also thought that the response should include observations on the economic impacts and that the council supports the National Highways approach of seeking further highway evidence to be satisfied that there would be no adverse impacts upon the strategic network in relation to Ribble Valley. The Environment Agency objection and its reasons should also be highlighted as a concern given that there is further evidence required to ensure that water resources were protected.
Members discussed the consultation further and requested that the loss of valuable agricultural land, and the fact that South Ribble do not have either a housing or employment land need to justify the proposals.
The Director of Economic Development and Planning informed committee that officers would continue to develop a dialogue with South Ribble BC to ensure the opportunity to fully explore outstanding issues and address the relevant local planning issues.
RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:
1. Endorse the conclusions set out in summary in the report and officers be instructed to submit a holding objection in response to the consultation reflecting the matters discussed in the report concerning Green Belt and Highway concerns and advising South Ribble Council of the wider concerns held by this Council including economic impact, environmental impact with loss of valuable agricultural land and the fact that South Ribble do not have either a housing or employment land need to justify the proposals, and
2. Officers be to asked to continue discussions relating to wider concerns identified and to keep the committee informed of progress as any further work that may help resolve those concerns undertaken by the applicants.
