Public Question Time To receive Questions from the Public, in accordance with the Council’s Constitution. A public question has been received for this meeting from Ms Frankland in relation to Denbigh Drive, Shaw. “Can you confirm that a Habitats Regulation Assessment for this site has been completed? What the Committee’s imperative reasons are for overriding the public interest in the protection of this and other green sites in the Shaw area and what are the proposed conservation objectives detailed in the assessment that covers this site?”
Minutes: The following public question was received from Ms Frankland in relation to Denbigh Drive, Shaw. “Can you confirm that a Habitats Regulation Assessment for this site has been completed? What the Committee’s imperative reasons are for overriding the public interest in the protection of this and other green sites in the Shaw area and what are the proposed conservation objectives detailed in the assessment that covers this site?” The Head of Planning responded that, as no application had been submitted, no Assessment was presently available. As part of any formal submission, the applicant would be required to submit information to accompany the proposal to demonstrate that any impacts on ecological interests had been fully addressed. This would include compliance with statutory requirements within the Habitats Regulations and any potential impacts on protected species. In addition, although outside the anticipated application site boundary, due regard would need to be given to any effects on the Site of Biological Importance which was located within the ponds/marsh area to the south of the site. Any planning application would need to be determined in accordance with the prevailing planning policies and guidance. This included the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), along with any local plan policies, the weight given to which would be in accordance with the level of consistency with the policies within the NPPF. As the Council could not presently demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites, the presumption in favour of sustainable development set out in paragraph 11 of the NPPF would apply. If an application were to be refused, it would be necessary to show that any adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies within the NPPF as a whole.
