21/00646/CONDIT Cromwell Court, Greenway Lane, Charlton Kings, GL52 6PW Additional documents: Minutes: The Planning Officer presented the report.
The agent on the applicant spoke on the application and reassured the committee that the properties will fit in with an AONB and that it does comply with custom build.
There were no Member questions.
The matter then went to debate: - There is a need for a formal definition of a self-build as the properties appear to be bespoke rather than self-built. - It seems that the change in condition is an excuse not to pay Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) - There is variation in the estate but still believes that it is contrived not to receive CIL. - This matter has uncovered a loop hole with regard to CIL. - The loss of natural habitat is a concern.
The Legal Officer stated that CIL is a legislation matter and issued a reminder to Members that they are only considering the layout, design etc.
The Interim Head of Planning explained that the original permission was for self and custom build properties.
- The point was then made by a Member that the Forest of Dean use Section 106 for self and custom build dwellings and the Cheltenham should investigate this.
The Interim Head of Planning agreed that this could have been used in hindsight and that the Legal Officer and himself would investigate further. The Chair had concerns regarding maximum investment in the town and asked that Section 106 be looked into as soon as possible.
The matter then went to the vote to permit.

Any other items the Chairman determines urgent and requires a decision Minutes: The matter was raised that when Members names appear as does their political party as it is an a- political committee does this need to be the case. This was referred to the Legal Officer and the Interim Head of Planning. It was agreed that it was not relevant, the Chair disagreed as he thought that it was good to see that it was a mix of political parties. The Legal Officer will confirm his decision.
