The Committee considered the report of the Head of Development Management.

 

The Legal representative read out statements on behalf of Councillor Moody of Stockbury Parish Council and Councillor Garten, Ward Member.

 

During the discussion:

 

(a)  The Legal representative suggested that, if Members were minded to approve the application, the last line of condition 12 (Enhancement of Biodiversity) be amended to read:

 

  The development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to first occupation and all features shall be retained and maintained thereafter.

 

(b)  The Planning Officer advised the Committee that he wished to add a renewables condition as follows:

 

The development shall not be occupied until details of how decentralised and renewable or low carbon sources of energy will be incorporated into the development hereby approved to provide at least 10% of total annual energy requirements of the development have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  The approved details shall be installed prior to the first occupation and shall be retained and maintained thereafter.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report, as amended by the Legal representative during the discussion, and the additional condition recommended by the Planning Officer relating to renewables, with the amendment of condition 4 (Occupation for bona fide Holiday Purposes Only) to require that at the end of each calendar year the operators of the site shall submit the up-to-date register of occupants to the Local Planning Authority for review.
