Comment:

The officer’s recommendation was amended to include the following prerequisite to the granting of consent, and also the amendments to conditions requested by consultees and set out in the update circulated prior to the meeting:

iii.resolution of the mechanism for securing the agreed transportation contribution and the delivery of the identified highway schemes.

In the ensuing debate members supported suggestions that discussions should continue to ensure that construction traffic was routed away from Fordingbridge Town Centre and was encouraged to avoid school drop off and pick up times; that the design of the SANGS should encourage perceptions of ownership of the space; and that the design took account of the artesian underground water flows that caused flooding in the area.  In addition, the high water table could make the recovery of mineral resources impossible without prejudicing the subsequent construction of the dwellings.
