The Committee received an application for full planning permission.  

The application sought approval for demolition of existing building and redevelopment of the site to provide a new building containing retail and office floorspace (Use Class E). 

The Principal Planner updated his report stating that conditions 26 and 27 needed a correction regarding the Drainage Strategy and reference to the up-to-date Local Plan. He requested delegated authority for officers to correct the wording of these conditions if the application was approved.
