Common use of St. Athan Development Brief Clause in Contracts

St. Athan Development Brief. An adopted Development Brief outlines the proposals for the St Athan site, confirms the relationship of the Defence Technical College and the Aerospace Business Park proposals, and provides a basis for the consideration of any future planning application(s) for the St Athan site. The Brief was prepared in partnership between Metrix, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Vale of Glamorgan Council and is designed to provide a framework for the future development of the St Athan site. The document was prepared in accordance with the Council’s protocol for development briefs and was subject to extensive public consultation, following which it was formally adopted for development control purposes by the Council in July 2006. Accordingly, it is an important material consideration in the determination of any future planning application(s) for the site. The application site boundary corresponds largely with the development boundary shown in the Development Brief, save that the application site includes land required for highway improvements at Gileston to Old Mill and Waycock Cross (although the likely necessity for off-site highway improvements is mentioned in the text of the brief) and for replacement aeronautical ground lighting on land to the west of the B4265. Since the Brief was adopted in July 2006, the proposal has been developed and amended, resulting in a number of changes in the development that is now proposed as part of the current planning application. The more important of these changes may be summarised as follows: • the abandonment of proposals to serve the ABP development south of the runway from within West Camp and the introduction of a Southern Access Road from the B4265; • the proposal to develop a new engine running facility at ABP South to replace one of the existing facilities at ABP North; and • the abandonment of proposals to close Eglwys Brewis Road and to widen and realign minor un-named roads at the northern end of the site. • Service Families Accommodation sites other than the golf course (with the golf course SFA site smaller than that shown in the Brief) • Provision of Hotel Although these changes are not reflected in the adopted version of the Development Brief, they lie largely within the defined development boundary.
