To agree a review of the Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) with
Persimmon Homes Ltd (the developer) relating to the proposed development of 502
dwellings and associated infrastructure at land east of Chickerell (application
WD/D/20/002569). The PPA was originally agreed in December 2020 and sets out
commitments on behalf of the Council and the developer in relation to the
processing of application WD/D/20/002569. There is a fee associated with the
PPA to ensure that the Council can meet its obligations. The PPA does not
fetter the Council in any way from exercising its statutory duties as the Local
Planning Authority and does not prejudice the outcomes of any planning
decisions.
The review of the PPA includes revised performance deadlines, to enable
more detailed negotiations of matters raised during the public consultation on
the application.
The decision to agree the review of the PPA is taken under delegated
powers, as set out in paragraph 136 of the Officer Scheme of Delegation.
Paragraph 136 provides delegated powers to “undertake all action in respect of
administering / processing any application under
any of the Town and Country Planning Legislation”. The Local Scheme of
Nomination for Development Management and Enforcement includes delegation of
these powers to the Service Manager for Development Management and Enforcement.
