Decision:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment).
Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) in respect of this application. The usual consultations had been undertaken and the responses received detailed in the report.
The officer detailed the background to the report and explained that the proposals had been the subject of a design review which was attached to the report. The main issues for consideration were reported in paragraph 1.02.
Councillor Dave Cox proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded. He said that this had been a long awaited planning application and would be an added bonus to the town of Flint and would mark the start of the regeneration of the town. In seconding the proposal, Councillor Mike Reece welcomed the scheme and hoped that similar projects would be achieved in rural areas. Councillor Ian Dunbar commented on the demolition of the maisonettes and in referring to a similar scheme in Connah’s Quay, he welcomed the flagship development as part of the Council’s Strategic Housing and Regeneration Programme (SHARP) and gave particular thanks to Andy Roberts and David Glyn Jones for their work which he felt should be commended. Councillor Chris Bithell also welcomed the rejuvenation of the centre of Flint and the submission and agreement of an archaeological investigation scheme prior to the development of the site. He expressed significant concern about the low number of car parking spaces allocated for the site and queried how the travel plan, which needed to be submitted and agreed, would be monitored.
The officer thanked Councillor Dunbar for his comments.
The Senior Engineer – Highways Development Control confirmed that the Local Planning Guidance for Parking related to maximum standards and added that the site was very sustainable and had a good public transport infrastructure.
RESOLVED:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment).
