Supplementary Planning Guidance: Langton Edge, Duns - Planning Brief PDF 151 KB Consider report by Service Director Regulatory Services. (Copy attached.) Additional documents:
Minutes: 3.0 SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE: LANGTON EDGE, DUNS – PLANNING BRIEF 3.1 There had been circulated copies of a report by the Service Director Regulatory Services which sought approval of Supplementary Planning Guidance in the form of a Planning Brief for Langton Edge, Duns. The report explained that the Langton Edge site at Hardens Road in Duns was allocated in the adopted Local Development Plan 2016 for housing (BD200). The site was allocated under policy PMD3 - Land Use Allocations. The Council had prepared the brief in order to lay down how the site could be developed, creating a development vision, identifying opportunities the site offers, addressing potential constraints, identifying required development contributions and encouraging good quality new development. The brief would provide guidance to any developer or any other interested party and would be a material consideration when determining planning applications. The planning brief was set out in Appendix A to the report.
3.2 The report brought forward the revised planning brief following the public consultation and a summary of the consultation responses were set out in Appendix Balong with the Council’s responses and recommended amendments to the brief, where considered appropriate. One key point to note was that a Section 50 Legal Agreement was put in place on the land as part of the granting of planning consent for housing associated with an extension to the Duns Golf Club in 1994. Part of the lengthy delay in referring the brief back to the Planning and Building Standards Committee was due to implications the Legal Agreement had on the implementation of the development. This was explained further in part 4 of the report, although fundamentally the Legal Agreement would require to be amended to allow development of the land. The amendment to the Legal Agreement would be subject to a separate formal application to the Council. The Chairman thanked Mr Johnston and his team for all their hard work.
DECISION AGREED to approve the planning brief as Supplementary Planning Guidance to be used as a material consideration to any proposal for the development of the site.
