Heads of terms

Point 6- 30% Affordable Housing (9 affordable units and 5 shared ownership units)

Additional Conditions  (additional conditions following further consultation responses)

No development (excluding the car park development) shall commence until the developer has developed a scheme detailing and where possible quantifying what measures or offsetting schemes are to be included in the development which will reduce the transport related air pollution of the development during construction and when in occupation. The report should be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, prior to development. [The developer should have regard to the DEFRA guidance from the document Low Emissions Strategy -using the planning system to reduce transport emissions January 2010.]
