Minutes
The Committee considered a report from the Director of Waste and Environmental Services (Item 6 in the Minute Book) regarding an application for a new school in Fleet.
The officer summarised the proposals, highlighting that the plans included the potential to expand the school in future should it be required. A location plan was shown depicting the relationship of the site along with the surrounding development and highway network. It was confirmed that the school would be fully electric and have a ground source heat pump installed. An update report had been circulated, which reflected minor updates to Condition 9 and an additional condition relating to the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) hours of use.
The Committee received a deputation from Liam Presley and Rachel Anderson on behalf of the applicant who spoke in favour of the proposals and detailed the design aspects considered.
During questions of the deputation, the following points were clarified:
In the event that an extension to the school is required, this would be located on the east side of the school, mirroring the current teaching wing there. There were three different drop-off/pick-up entrances around the school, which would be locked outside of these times. Only the entrance to the south near the reception would be open at other times. Numerous outlets would be installed in the roof to drain surface water quickly during periods of heavy rainfall. Fencing around the site was 1.8 metres high, apart from around the car park, which was 1.2 metres. There was no allocated parking or drop-off area for parents, but there would be a nearby community area with parking that could be used if necessary. There were cycle paths on the Southern and Northern boundaries. The speed limits of the roads surrounding the school were within the remit of the developer, but it was anticipated that they would be 20mph. The School Travel Plan would incorporate safe routes. There was allocation for 21 cycle places and 42 scooter places, which was based on County Council guidance for provision, but the academy could add additional spaces if felt necessary.
During debate, Members welcomed the fact that the building was environmentally sustainable and would be fitted with a heat pump, but some felt the standard design of the building was not very inspiring and hoped that architects could be given more freedom to design more than functional buildings in the longer term if finances ever permitted it.
RESOLVED
Planning permission was granted subject to the conditions set out in
Appendix A and the update report.
