Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for outline planning permission.

The application sought outline permission for the erection of up 245 dwellings, including affordable housing, a nursery and/or community facility, open space, car parking, cycle parking and associated works following the demolition of all existing buildings on the site.

The Committee noted the amendment sheet.

The Committee received a late request for a statement to be read out in objection to the application from a local resident. The Chair disallowed the statement due to the late submission. However, the Officer was asked to cover the issue of existing properties in close proximity to the boundary of the proposed site in her presentation, which was the substance of the late submission.

Paul Belton (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers as amended by pre-committee amendments set out on the amendment sheet. Also subject to completion of S106 Agreement, and delegated authority to confirm either contributions or no contributions towards healthcare facilities following consultation with consultees.
