Item 5 - 17/00641/OUT PDF 202 KB Fields 8456 7946 and 9744 Normanton Lane, Bottesford – Request to vary S106 Agreement Minutes: DEED OF VARIATION
17/00641/OUT OS Fields 8456 7946 And 9744, Normanton Lane, Bottesford (a)
The
Development Manager (LP) presented the report and stated that: The purpose of this
report is to consider amendments to the s106 agreement associated with this application
that have been requested by the applicant and to invite the Committee to
consider the applicant’s request to vary the section 106 currently in place to: (i)
Operate
the car park with a minimum charge to users of £1 to park for the day
(previously no charge was intended). The deed of
variation was presented to members at the last committee of January 2019
whereby a request was made to allow both the charging element above and also a
revision to the implementation time of the car park. The request was
refused and the request to amend trigger times is no longer proposed. Since the
publication of the report, representation has been received with regards to the
charging, and concern raised that no restriction on the amount that could be
charged for parking should the applicant later wish to revise any previous
references to one pound per day. The wording of the
revision is intended so that an application to vary is not required for every
fee change in the years to come, however the wording can be amended should
members feel this is necessary. Copies
of the representations have been given to members for consideration. The request for the ability to charge would ensure that the car park can be suitably managed and maintained with the funding paying for such items as security measurements, the request is recommended for approval as per the report. A Cllr asked for the proposer and seconder
from the discussion last month to make comments. Cllr Rhodes, who was the proposer, stated
that he considers there no problem with charging, the problem was the issue was
conflated with the timing of provision when they were previously submitted, and
the proposal was rejected because of this. The carpark should come into
operation after the addition of the 50th house which was the
original condition. Since this is now no longer an issue he did not have a
problem with charging. Cllr Botterill, who seconded the proposal,
had concerns that it was not viable. He agreed with Cllr Rhodes. A Cllr had concerns that the village would
become congested with people parking elsewhere. A Cllr had concerns that the £1 charge might
increase too rapidly and the carpark would not be used. A Cllr asked if the committee had the power
to set the amount. The Development Manager stated that the
report reads “operate the carpark with a minimum charge to users of £1 to park
for the day”. It is allowing the provision of charging as opposed to setting
the rate. A Cllr asked if there was reference to
approval by Melton Borough Council so that we had a degree of control over the
acceleration rate of fees in an earlier report. |
