Moved by Councillor Fielding and seconded by Councillor Kitching:

(i)            That the progress made in the development of the Barnsley West (MU1) Masterplan Framework (Round 2) as detailed in the report now submitted be noted; and

(ii)          That the current version of the Barnsley West (MU1) Masterplan Framework be not adopted until:

(a)  The detailed requirements for the phasing of all developments on site are agreed and included in the Masterplan Framework.  The phasing must set out the sequencing of the provision of infrastructure, amenities, housing development areas and employment units and must take into account the possibility of incomplete development of the site due to changing economic and demographic conditions and provide opportunities for amending the Masterplan Framework following the 5 year Local Plan review period.

(b)  The route and extent of the connection between Site MU1 and Capitol Park industrial park is determined.

(c)  The reliance on, extent of and arrangements for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems are reviewed in the light of current national concerns about their use.

(d)  The arrangements and implications for the future ongoing maintenance requirements of proposed public green spaces are reviewed and clarified having regard to current national concerns for householders in this regard.

(e)  The extent of methane gas and other possible contaminants on Site MU1 are further reviewed and reported upon.

(f)   The provision of affordable housing quotas on the whole site is reviewed and clarified.

(g)  The arrangements for a forum to facilitate ongoing community involvement in the development of Site MU1 for the duration of the development is set out in the masterplan Framework.

(h)   A further consultation exercise is undertaken to take account of items (a-g) above, in a manner which addresses the concerns expressed in the local press and briefly on Page 110 of Appendix C (SC1) to the report, about the format of the recent consultation which forms the basis of the current report.

Councillor Fielding requested a recorded vote.  This was not supported by 10 other Members in accordance with Standing Order no. 18 (b).  Upon being put to the vote the amendment was lost. 

The original motion was then put as the substantive motion and:

RESOLVED

(i)         that the progress made in the development of the Masterplan Framework for Barnsley West (MU1) as detailed in the report now submitted be noted; and

(ii)        that the final version of the Masterplan Framework be adopted.
