Officer report

Why the layout changed

The layout was amended after an underground culvert and its eight-metre easement were found in the south-western site corner.

“The proposal is a full application for the construction of 16 dwellings. The affected plot numbers in relation to the previous reserved matters approval (2019/0560) are plots 583 to 597 inclusive. The re-plan is a result of the discovery of an underground culvert in the south western corner of the site. Construction cannot take place over the culvert or the associated 8 metre easement. Hence the requirement for the layout in this area to be amended.”

“The site would be accessed as per the approved phase 3 reserved matters approval from the western arm of the newly constructed traffic lighted junction off the Colwick Loop Road. The eastern arm being Magenta Way which serves the remainder of the Teal Close development.”
