The
Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the
Head of Development Management.
Mr
Proctor, for the applicant, and Councillor Mrs Blackmore (in support) addressed the
meeting.
RESOLVED: That
permission be refused for the reason set out in the report and the
following additional reason:-
The
application site features habitats potentially suitable for
protected species and in the absence of an ecological survey to
identify the presence or otherwise of such species, the extent that
they may be affected by the proposed development and any mitigation
measures, it has not been demonstrated that the development would
not result in harm to biodiversity interests contrary to advice
within PPS9 and Circular 06/2005.
