The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the redevelopment of three existing
residential flats and demolition of commercial workshop to create 6 new
residential units with associated cycle and bin storage and new landscaped
amenity spaces.
The Planning Officer verbally updated the wording of condition 16 as

landscape works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local
planning authority and these works shall be carried out as approved. These
details shall include proposed finished levels or contours; means of enclosure;
car parking layouts, other vehicle and pedestrian access and circulation areas;
hard surfacing materials; minor artefacts and structures (e.g. furniture, play
equipment, refuse or other storage units, signs, lighting); proposed and
existing functional services above and below ground (e.g. drainage, power, communications
cables, pipelines indicating lines, manholes, supports); retained historic
landscape features and proposals for restoration, where relevant. Soft
Landscape works shall include planting plans; written specifications (including
cultivation and other operations associated with plant and grass
