Decision:
To recommend to Council that the North of Hertford (Sacombe Road, Bengeo) Masterplanning Framework for the first phase of the strategic allocation known as HERT4 North of Hertford, as detailed at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ to the report, be agreed as a material consideration for Development Management Purposes.
Minutes:
The Leader submitted a report to enable Executive Members to consider the Masterplanning Framework for the HERT4 North of Hertford (Sacombe Road, Bengeo) site. She said this was another fine example of the work of the Masterplanning Steering Group. This site was unusual as it was for 50 houses, the other part of the site which would have been for 100 houses having been subject to a gravel extraction planning application which was refused. Whilst those other houses were not coming forward, this could not be guaranteed.
The Executive Member for Planning and Growth said it was good to see so many local and residents’ groups engage with the Masterplanning process, which had worked well.
Councillor T Page queried the meaning of the reference to the Masterplanning process requiring all “significant” development proposals to prepare a Masterplan.
The Leader said the District Plan required that even quite a small
number of houses which could have a significant impact on ecology
or heritage would need to go through the Masterplanning
process. Whilst some of the sites in
Hertford were not strategic sites, they were still required to go
through the Masterplanning process. In
answer to a further question from Councillor T Page, Councillor L
Haysey said it would be for the Leader to take a decision to put a
site through the Masterplanning process. Councillor Goodeve said it was a decision based on
the cumulative impact of these sites so that the County Council was
aware of forthcoming development.
Councillor L Haysey moved and Councillor S Rutland-Barsby seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed be approved. After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED. The Executive approved the recommendations now detailed.
RESOLVED – that the North of Hertford (Sacombe Road, Bengeo) Masterplanning Framework for the first phase of the strategic allocation known as HERT4 North of Hertford, as detailed at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ to the report, be agreed as a material consideration for Development Management Purposes.
