Garendon Development

Question submitted by County Councillor Max Hunt

County Councillor M. Hunt – Garendon Development

    “1.   What policy and practical measures are proposed for the archaeological survey of the Garendon Park and the former ecclesiastical land between the former monastery and Dishley Chapel?

2. When will the required Estate Plan for the Garendon Development be approved by the LPA and when will it be published?”

The following response had been published prior to the meeting:

1.    The potential for buried archaeology within the areas of the SUE earmarked for development were identified in the Geophysical Survey submitted as part the Desk Based Archaeological Assessment forming section 7 of the Environmental Statement at outline stage. This indicated archaeological interest within phase 1 and 2 (as defined by the approved Phasing Plan agreed to discharge condition 9 referenced P/18/2406/2). Condition 38 remains to be discharged and requires the agreement of a scheme of investigation and reporting to be completed prior to commencement of each phase, including phase 1 and 2. No further archaeological investigation is required as part of the outline planning permission within the registered park and gardens, other than in relation to the construction of the Strategic Link Road.

2.   The Estate Plan required by Schedule 7 paragraph 2.1 of the Section 106 is required to be submitted and agreed prior to the first occupation. Schedule 7 paragraph 2.2 of the same requires that the management companies agreed as part of the Estate Plan are set up prior to the first occupation. The Estate Plan has not been agreed at this point in time and CBC continue to liaise with the developers to progress this issue in line with the timescales set out in the S106 agreement. The Estate Plan will be published via Charnwood’s website upon agreement.
