Court
The representations covered the following issues:

houses.

iv.
Commented that the density of the
development had increased.

proposed development was unattractive.
Steven Longstaff (Applicant’s Agent) addressed
the Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Price
(Executive Councillor for Housing) addressed the Committee and made the following
points:
i.
The
site had originally been approved for redevelopment by the Housing Scrutiny
Committee 2 years ago but the Government had changed rents which meant that the
development was unable to be brought forward.
ii.
The
development would be 100% affordable housing.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 0) 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 and the completion of a S106
