· Proposed deletion of Condition 9;
· Proposed amendment of Condition 13 listing revised plans;
· Proposed additional Conditions pertaining to the Highway Adoption Plan, visibility splays, and highway construction details, and

In response to Member questions, the Service Manager, Highways Development Management, stated that the development met council standards and that the number of spaces around the flats had been increased in response to comments. The main roads on the development had footpaths. Where there were cycleways and footpaths, they shared the same space in line with guidance.
Regarding the adoption of the portion of the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) that ran across the site, he explained that there was a section 38 agreement which governed the work. An advanced payment code (APC) bond would be secured by the Council from the developer and this would not be released until the road and associated works had been completed to council satisfaction and in accordance with approved details.
Further to Member comments, it was agreed that Informative 8 would be amended to make it clear that it did not apply to the NDR and was only related to the internal estate roads.
Resolved: That Application no 170083 be approved, subject to the conditions set out in Agenda pages 5 to 40, the amendments, deletion and additional condition as laid out in the Members’ Update, completion of the legal agreement relating to Deed of Variation in relation to affordable housing and the amendment to the informative 8 set out above.

Proposal: Reserved Matters application for a two form entry (2FE) primary school, including all hard & soft play areas, school car parking, attenuation pond (habitat area), landscaping and associated drop off car parking.
Applicant: Bovis Homes Ltd, Bloor Homes Ltd, Linden (Shinfield) LLP
The Committee received and reviewed a report about this application, set out in Agenda pages 41 to 68.
· Proposed amendment of Condition 2 listing additional plans;
· Proposed amendment of Condition 4 regarding hours of use;
· Additional information to be included in the summary information, and
· Corrections to the report regarding the plan’s adherence to the principles in the outline plan and the size of the football pitch.
Piers Brunning, Service Manager for Policy, Strategy and Partnerships, Spoke in favour of the application. He explained that primary school places in the Shinfield area were at a premium, with both the existing schools completely full, and that the proposed developments in the area would increase demand further. He stated that the Council had worked very closely with the Floreat Education Trust. He commented on the modern design, stating that it fitted with other new schools being built nationally. He was confident that the quality of learning and teaching would be enhanced by the design. The school was intending to be active in the development and maintenance of its travel plan.
In response to a Member query, the Case Officer stated that the school’s expansion would occur in phase over 7 years, increasing each year as the pupils went up the school and starting from reception. In response to a Member query regarding colours, the Case Officer stated that the final colour of the rendering would need to be approved, as set out in Condition 3.
In regards to parking for staff, the Service Manager, Highways Development Management, stated that the allocated spaces had been calculated for the average of FTE staff inline with recent new and extended schools within the Borough. The operator for this new school became known through the process and as such higher FTE was established. However based on the current proposed parking for staff and additional parking also made available within the site, the scheme proposed still provided adequate parking provision to meet the Council’s standards. A further 10 spaces were also indicated on the plan for future potential expansion to a three form of entry school which was in line with Council standards but would be considered at a later stage. He went on to state that new development surrounding the school would result in an increase of 1200 plus properties that would be able to make use of the new footpath and cycleway network provided within the development and linking to it. The Travel Plan which was also secured through the application would play a big part delivering a sustainable school within such a new development that will be built out alongside the school.

Proposal: Application to vary condition 28 of planning consent 161666 (15/9/2016) to allow changes to delivery hours
The Committee received and reviewed a report about this application, set out in Agenda pages 105 to 124.
BhavashVashi, Agent, spoke in support of the application. He suggested that the changes to delivery hours should be seen in the context of a site that was open 24 hours a day. He stated that the company managed similar sites around the country and was seen as a good neighbour. The deliveries would take place in a secluded area and offloading would all occur in an enclosed dock environment. The company had agreed to a year’s trial.
Alison Swaddle, Ward Member for Bulmershe and Whitegates, stated that there had some been some concern amongst residents when the initial application had come to Committee. The proposed change in hours would directly impact families. If managed, the company could work within the set hours.
In response to Member questions, the Case Officer clarified the changes and stated that the conditions required that deliveries that arrived outside the allotted hours would turn off their engines and refrigeration units. The vehicles would only reverse in the service area. The change to hours would facilitate the company’s operation as it would allow stocking to take place outside shop hours. At the end of the year’s trial, the company would need to re-submit the application.
Further to Member comments, it was agreed that Condition 11 be amended to require that reverse beacons be switched off.
Resolved: That Application no 170360 be approved subject to the conditions set out in Agenda pages 105 to 124 and the amendment to Condition 11 as laid out above.
