The Chairman and
Councillors Clark, Cox and Round stated that they had been
lobbied.
The Committee
considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of
Planning and Development.
Mr Newton, an
objector, addressed the meeting.
During the discussion
on this application, Councillor Round stated that he was one of the
Council’s representatives on the Upper Medway Internal
Drainage Board whose offices were situated at 17 Albion
Place. Since the Board had not objected
to the application and was unlikely to be affected financially by
the development, Councillor Round indicated that he would continue
to participate in the discussion and the voting on the
application.
RESOLVED: That outline
permission be granted subject to the
conditions set out in the report as amended by the urgent update
report.
