The Chairman has agreed to allow the following matter as an item of Urgent Business.

(a)      Trafford Waters:  Development and Infrastructure Phasing

To note the attached report of the Head of Planning and Development.

Trafford Waters: Development and Infrastructure Phasing

[Note:  The Chairman agreed to allow consideration of this item as Urgent Business for the following reason:-

By taking the Trafford Waters report for information to the same meeting as the determination of the Carrington applications, Members will be able to better appreciate that very similar consultation responses were received from Highways England in respect of the Carrington applications and the phasing of Trafford Waters. This will aid their understanding of the wider context, the consistency of Highways England’s approach and that the same criticisms of Highways England’s assessment are valid for both schemes.]

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report updating Members on the position reached with Highways England and the applicant (Peel Investments North Ltd) in respect of planning application 85282/OUT/15 since Members resolved that they were minded to grant the application in October 2016.  Specifically this relates to the agreement of Highways England to the proposed phasing of highways infrastructure to enable 1050 residential units, 27,870sqm of B1 office floorspace and 4,579sqm of commercial floorspace to come forward at Trafford Waters before full WGIS is implemented.

            RESOLVED:  That the contents of the report be noted.
