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.
