Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development.

 

Mr Court, for the applicant, and Councillor Brice (Visiting Member) addressed the meeting.

 

In response to a question by a Member, the Development Manager confirmed that the second sentence of proposed condition 6 relating to the enhancement of biodiversity should read:

 

The scheme shall consist of the enhancement of biodiversity through integrated methods into the design and appearance of the extension by means such as swift bricks, bat tube or bat bricks.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informative set out in the report, as amended by the Development Manager at the meeting, with the amendment of condition 4 to specify that the landscaping scheme shall include a privet hedge instead of fencing to the boundary of the site (adjacent to the road) to soften the appearance of the development (the wording to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development acting under delegated powers).

 

Voting:  12 – For  0 – Against  0 – Abstentions

 

Note:  During the discussion, it was suggested that, in future, it should be a requirement that landscaping schemes be submitted with applications.  Prior to the closure of the meeting, the Chairman said that he had made a note to raise this issue at the next meeting of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Political Group Spokespersons of the Planning Committee.
