Planning Committee Agenda Item 8 13 April 2011 11/00126/F 3.0 Relevant Planning and Enforcement History 3.1 04/01778/OUT A new neighbourhood of 600 dwellings with associated facilities and infrastructure works Resolution to grant 23 March 2005 Granted with S106 22 September 2006 3.2 04/01778/RM1 Construction of the Spine Road and Swales to facilitate residential development for phase one of the NE Sector new neighbourhood development Granted 2 October 2007 3.3 04/01778/RM2 Reserved matters application for 252 new homes Granted 4 December 2007 3.4 04/01778/RM12 Reserved matters application pertaining to the spine road for phase two of 04/01778/OUT Granted 25 January 2011 4.0 Proposal and Design Approach 4.1 This reserved matters application follows outline permission 04/01778/OUT granted in September 2006. The reserved matters for which approval are sought are access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of 308 dwellings and the neighbourhood centre. The principle of development, the means of access and the impact of the development on the wider environment were determined at the outline application stage. 4.2 The school site is located within this phase, and this parcel of land is to be handed over to the County Council in September. Its layout and design has yet to be determined, as it will be subject to a separate application. It is envisaged that the County Council will progress this in consultation with the Borough Council. 4.3 The design approach for the development continues the themes of phase one, which has been informed by the advice in the Horley Design Guide and Surrey Design. This has included creating a variety of sub-characters within the phase to encourage a sense of place and identity for residents and visitors alike, and a layout containing distinctive features such as urban squares to create a legible form of development. The applicant has taken account of the constraints of the site, namely the flood plain, existing tree belts and landscaping, which have played a major part in defining and influencing the final layout.
