  • Application No: PAP/2018/0755 Land to East of Former Tamworth Golf
    (3) Application No: PAP/2018/0755 Land to east of Former Tamworth Golf Course, North of Tamworth Road - B5000 and west of M42, Alvecote, Outline application - Demolition of all existing buildings and construction of up to 1540 dwellings (including a 100 bed unit extra care home) a community hub (up to 2,250m2 of gross floorspace for use class A1-A5, B1a-B1b, D1 and D2) a two form entry primary school, the provision of green infrastructure comprising playing fields and sports pavilion, formal and informal open space, children's play areas, woodland planting and habitat creation, allotments, walking and cycling routes, sustainable drainage infrastructure, vehicular access and landscaping, for Hallam Land Management Ltd Introduction The receipt of this application was reported to the Board many months ago and notwithstanding the lapse of time, there has been considerable progress made in understanding the various impacts of the proposal from the perspective of a number of consultation bodies. They have all had to be considered by the applicant and by officers in order to provide Members with a comprehensive view. The previous report - at Appendix A – referred to a number of procedural matters in its Introduction and because of the scale of the proposal and its potential impacts beyond the Borough, the Board agreed to the recommendation therein that progress reports should be brought back to the Board and that there be ongoing consultation with the Tamworth Borough Council. The substantive delay since that initial report has been due to gathering together the various consultation responses in order to try and ensure that those from neighbouring Agencies and Authorities were in agreement and because of the delays in progressing the Examination into the emerging Local Plan.
