          Approval of reserved matters following outline consent A/99/17/OUT for 175 No dwellings & associated infrastructure. This application may affect the setting of a listed building, may affect the character & appearance of the Angmering Conservation Area & falls within Strategic Site SD9, CIL Zone 1 (Zero Rated).

The Planning Officer presented his report including matters in the update report. This was followed by Public Speakers and a response was provided by the Planning Officer.

          Members then took part in a full debate on the application where a number of concerns were raised including flooding, access concerns and that the Angmering Advisory Group briefing that was due to be held before Christmas 2020 had been cancelled and instead only a few Members had been in attendance at a separate briefing instead and that on this basis a deferral of the application was proposed and seconded.

          The Planning Officer and Engineering Services Manager provided Members with answers to the issues raised regarding flooding and access. The Director of Place advised Members that they needed to provide specific reasoning and rationale in order to defer the application.

          After further debate it was proposed that members defer the application so that there could be further consideration of the proposals by the Angmering Advisory Group. Committee members in their discussion made comments on drainage scheme, the construction management plan, density and the further consideration of views from the South Downs National Park.

          Having been formally proposed and duly seconded, the Committee

                     RESOLVED

                     That the application be DEFERRED: -

1)    to enable full consultation and a meeting with the advisory group to be held

2)    to review the drainage concerns

3)    to examine the landscaping and the south down national park review, and,

4)    to examine the density and potential density decrease.
