Minutes:

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

When introducing the application, the Principal Planning Officer advised the Committee that the applicant had sent lobbying material to Members about why they had submitted the application. Whilst this was informative, the application must be determined on the transport evidence and the reason for making the application was not relevant to the merits of the actual decision.

Councillor Green of Nettlestead Parish Council addressed the meeting.

RESOLVED: That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informative set out in the report with delegated powers given to the Head of Development Management to be able to settle or amend any necessary planning conditions and/or informatives in line with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by the Planning Committee.

Voting: 9 – For 2 – Against 1 – Abstention
