The 30 July 2026 council decision to grant 169 dwellings (145 houses and 24 apartments), a creche and associated works carries 25 conditions. Commission appeal 324563 is pending. The original life-cycle report remains an application-stage proposal; council conditions are historical decision evidence, not a final permission or proof of construction.
Brick and render, with window and roof alternatives
Proposed in application · Original November 2025 application envelope schedule
What the evidence says
The November 2025 life-cycle report proposes substantial brickwork with painted render, double-glazed aluminium-clad or uPVC windows, and slate or tile roof coverings. These are material categories and alternatives, not a final selected product schedule.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies facade, window and roofing packages while retaining the unresolved alternatives.
What is not established
Exact finishes, manufacturers, window systems and any later agreed substitutions are not established.

EXTERNAL BUILDING ENVELOPE
Heat pumps and heat-recovery ventilation remain options
Proposed in application · Original November 2025 low-energy technology options
What the evidence says
The life-cycle report says air-to-water heat pumps and mechanical heat-recovery ventilation will be considered, while natural/passive ventilation is being evaluated. It does not establish which heating or ventilation system was finally selected.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: distinguishes potential mechanical-services packages from selected equipment.
What is not established
No heat-pump capacity, refrigerant, ventilation unit model, installation or commissioning is established.

Council requested Storm Tech attenuation and revised calculations
Council decision under appeal · Condition 16 in the council decision to grant, now under appeal
What the evidence says
Condition 16 of the 30 July 2026 council decision requires attenuation tanks to be revised to Storm Tech type, with details and revised surface-water calculations submitted for written agreement. Details of kiosks for alarm and messaging systems are also required.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: a later council requirement changes the drainage design and introduces a specific system type to be resolved.
What is not established
No agreed tank layout, storage volume, supplier order, installation or condition discharge is established. This is not a final Commission decision.

Council required a revised lighting design
Council decision under appeal · Condition 17 in the council decision to grant, now under appeal
What the evidence says
Condition 17 requires a revised public-lighting design for written agreement, including an alternative proposal to lighting bollards and warm-white LED (2700 K), revised warranties, and relocation of columns beside houses 1 to 9 and 97 to 105 into open space. The original lighting proposal is therefore not treated as the final adopted design.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: prevents the earlier lighting report from being presented as an agreed current equipment schedule.
What is not established
The wording requests an alternative but does not establish the replacement colour temperature, luminaire model, quantity, warranty or agreed revision.

Council required functional EV charging and future ducting
Council decision under appeal · Condition 15 in the council decision to grant, now under appeal
What the evidence says
Condition 15 requires functional OCPP-compliant EV charging at a minimum of 20% of communal or public parking spaces. It requires ducting or containment for the remaining public parking and private residential parking, plus engagement with a charge-point operator.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: separates operational charger provision from parking prepared for later charging.
What is not established
The total number or rating of chargers, selected manufacturer, appointed operator and electrical connection capacity are not established.

Two 110 mm telecom ducts and shared access
Council decision under appeal · Condition 20 in the council decision to grant, now under appeal
What the evidence says
Condition 20 requires drawings showing at least two 110 mm telecom ducts from the public road to each house and to multi-dwelling plant rooms. Chambers are required at ends, road crossings and changes of direction, and at intervals no greater than 250 m. Infrastructure is to be open access.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation: identifies a defined communications ducting and chamber package before construction.
What is not established
Named operators in the consultation requirement are not treated as appointed contractors. Duct lengths, chamber quantities, installed networks and final drawings remain unconfirmed.

Selected pages of 2 government-published PDFs were visually inspected. Four PDFs were inspected on selected pages: a 17-page life-cycle report, 26-page lighting report, four-page significant-information notice pack and 15-page council decision. Two text-bearing PDFs support these six published-candidate facts. The lighting design is an earlier proposal superseded by a requirement for revision; the four-page notice pack is not the complete technical further-information response. Proposals do not establish procurement or installed work.
