Major planning application approved

The outline planning application for a mix of 28 open market and affordable dwellings and associated infrastructure on land to the rear of Rectory Farm has now been approved (application reference 15/00131/OUT).   The full decision notice, including the conditions attached to it, can be found here.

The full site plan of the proposal can be found here.

The site is now at the stage for a full application to be made. 

The decision involved a 'section106 agreement' and, although this does not include MPC’s request for funding for sewerage improvements, it will provide funds for Village Hall improvements and other community benefits. 

Tewkesbury Borough Cllr Davis was asked to investigate how the list of section 106 requirements was reached, as MPC had not been consulted.  The Parish Council unanimously agreed that it’s Planning Policy Document be amended in the light of the decision and that a copy be sent to Tewkesbury Planning Department.
