Members raised questions in relation to a number of Delegated Actions Authorised by the Enforcement Team, namely:

16/00711/OP – officer’s had chased for further information but had largely been ignored. When officer’s eventually gained access to the site it was noted there was no material harm

18/00335/OP – applications for extensions and sub-divisions of the property had been applied for and these applications were taken to appeal. The Appeal was dismissed on sub-division only and as the extensions were not objectionable which therefore meant no material harm.

18/0332/CU – it was hoped that this would be dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Submission of the file of actions taken under delegated powers since the previous meeting.

The file on actions taken under delegated authority since the previous meeting was circulated for the Committee’s attention.

Two queries were raised:

1.     "To enter into a deed to vary planning obligations contained in the legal agreement associated with planning permission 15/17349/FUL. Numerous amendments are proposed including provision of a greater amount of affordable housing.

Site of Leo Laboratories, Longwick Road, Princes Risborough."

2.     "To enter into a Deed of Variation to vary the affordable housing mortgage clauses in the s106 agreement dated 3^rd October 2014 in relation to the Daws Hill Development."

In answer to the first query it was noted that it was a split company with one half being Housing Association and the other half being a private company that sold properties therefore they could afford to release affordable housing.

The Chairman agreed that full answers would be brought to a future Committee.
