PLANNING

Somerset Council resolved to grant outline planning permission (Ref.21/02785/OUT), subject to completion of the S106 legal agreement. All matters are reserved except access, for proposed redevelopment of buildings and associated land for residential development at The Grange, Portway, Langport, TA10 0NQ.

We understand that the draft Section 106 Agreement contributions, in total, are approximately £85,575 (Education contribution removed following Officer report). Please note this figure may vary as the Agreement is subject to legal negotiation, number of dwellings and indexation.

Due to the Vacant Building Credit Policy and the existing buildings on the site, there is a reduction in the affordable housing requirement to 25%. There will be Community Infrastructure liability in respect of the development, although this will be calculated and confirmed once the Reserved Matters permission is granted.

The Phosphate mitigation strategy shall consist of the acquisition of credits from an established third-party provider, with the overarching legal agreement with Somerset Council, as detailed within No.20 of the Planning Conditions of the Planning Permission. However, all interested parties should confirm these points independently with the Local Planning Authority.

Copies of the proposed plans, reports, draft S106 & draft planning conditions are held on file by the agents.
