Issue - meetings

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

When introducing the application, the Senior Planning Officer sought delegated powers to impose an additional condition requiring the applicant to submit details of the padding to be installed around the goal backs and on rebound panels to reduce the noise impact.

Mr Newton addressed the meeting on behalf of residents objecting to the application.

The Democratic Services Officer read out a statement on behalf of Mr Bax, the agent for the applicant.

RESOLVED:  That consideration of this application be deferred to:

Assess the cumulative impact of the existing lighting, the lighting for the proposed padel courts and the lighting associated with this application;

Seek night-time photographs to see what the existing lighting looks like;

Seek details of a landscape scheme;

Seek details of the boundary treatments, including the acoustic fencing (height etc.) and bund to assess the visual impact and also to understand the planning status of the bund and fencing;

Seek up to date ecological information (including a bat survey) and an assessment of biodiversity net gain; and

Seek more information about the light spectrum proposed as the red end of the spectrum is less intrusive.
