The Committee considered a report from the Head of Strategic Planning (item 6 in the minute book) regarding an application at Samuel Cody College in Farnborough.

Members were shown aerial photographs of the site along with the proposed site layout, including the foul sewer easement zone, which could not be developed. Elevation plans enabled Committee to see the buildings in relation to the nearby residential properties and how the new area would appear.

There had been no objections from statutory consultees, and the three representations received had been included in the report. An update report had also been circulated, which included some minor updates as well as amendments to the conditions around hours of working, highways and environmental control and additional conditions around contamination and lighting.

The Committee received one deputation from Dan Keeler on behalf of the applicant, who spoke in favour of the application. It was enforced that the expansion was focussed on accommodating SEMH needs pupils and it was anticipated that the expansion would open in September 2022 if approved.

During questions of the deputations, it was clarified that attenuation tanks were fairly common and would connect up to storm drains in the north and south of the site.

Members agreed that the development would be incredibly beneficial to the local area.
