Agreed to zone UCC’s campus as “ZO 14 Institution and Community uses” to reflect the role of UCC and strengthen the policy context to provide for its expansion. Recommendation: Change zoning of UCC campus from “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 14 Institution and Community uses”. The existing “Area of High Value Landscape” designation on this site is considered to be appropriate. This is not a zoning objective but an ‘overlay’ designation . The underlying zoning objective still stands, the “Area of High Value Landscape” designation requires that development on these lands must respect the character and primacy of the landscape. Recommendation: No change.

Requests removal of “Area of High Value Landscape” designation from Windmill Road / High Street, as any further development of the site will most appropriately be controlled by planning conditions.
