Master File. 3 JCC MEETING NOTE 21 DECEMBER 2016 INTRODUCTIONS General introductions were made. Alistair MacDonald (AMacD), Planning Consultant stated, his attendance status as ‘advisory’ to Jordanhill Community Council (JCC) and their Constituents. PURPOSE OF MEETING To review status of Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) Subject to Condition(s) and S75 Agreement, open dialogue to share community concerns and advise on intended actions with the Planning Authority. Identify what benefits the Community can expect from the pursuit of alternative proposals. Request transparency from the Planning Authority to provide all ‘supporting documents’ that include the Masterplan Portfolio by Gareth Hoskins Architects and Traffic Assessment deemed to be part of the verified application for PPiP. Specific to the emerging MSC proposals by 7N Architects, question the material variations to those contained in the ‘supporting documents’ and Masterplan by Gareth Hoskins Architects that gained PPiP Subject to Condition(s) and S75 Agreement. Are the principles of integrated urban design along with the hierarchy of pedestrian and cyclists being waivered in favour of dictating the layout with the car as interloper? In relation to this distinctive site how are innovation, technology, design and sustainability being used to conserve the environment and benefit our Community? To present the concept of a Community Value Proposition based on organisation, legal structure and experience of existing Charitable Trust Vehicles for adoption and integration of such proposals in determining the MSC planning application. Key issues to be addressed though a Value Proposition were highlighted as: 1 Community Transfer of Assets. 2 Develop Education Strategies. 3 Protecting and Enhancing the City’s Historic Environment. 4 Reduce Development Density from 364 dwellings. 5 Local Transport Strategy. 6 Sustainable Design and Construction. 7 Design and Access. 8 Design and Construction Management. 9 Vesting and Adoption. BACKGROUND Sarah Shaw (SS), Team Leader, Planning Development, DRS provided the meeting with an overview of the planning process to date relating to the Jordanhill College Planning Application dated 06 April 2011 and subsequent Report to the Planning Applications Committee dated 15 January 2013 recommending Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) be granted Subject to Conditions(s) and Section 75 Planning Agreement. The aforementioned Particulars list the planning process to date as supplemented by relevant City Plan 2 Principle Policies. 4 JCC MEETING NOTE 21 DECEMBER 2016 PLANNING PORTAL SS confirmed that the Council's On-Line Planning Portal is being updated to include all documentation related to the PPiP granted Subject to Condition(s) and Section 75 Agreement. It was noted that ‘supporting documents’ that include the Campus 2 Masterplan Portfolio by Gareth Hoskins Architects, Traffic Assessment, and Section 75 Planning Agreement contract (framework) are not in the public domain. Reference was made to JCC letter dated 14 December 2016 to the Executive Director of DRS requesting a copy of the S75 Agreement and Traffic Assessment. Response waited. A copy of this letter was handed over to SS. Refer to Appendix B: Drawings extracted from on-line Planning Portal Ref:11/00794/DC: (a) JRM AL (00)004 Location Plan. (b) JRM AL (00)003 Illustrated Development Schedule. Identifies development plots 1 to12. Estimated density 354 units. PUBLIC INFORMATION EVENT JCC believe that the Public Information Event organised by Cala Homes (West) in the David Stow Building on 07 December (14:00-20:00hrs) offering a closure date for comments by 21 December 2016 was misleading, not being part of the statutory planning process.
