Minutes:

The Chairman advised the Committee that a number of allegations of having a pecuniary interest had been made against a Member of the Committee by the applicant.  These allegations had been investigated, and it had been found that the Member did not have a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest or Other Significant Interest in the application.

 

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

 

During the discussion, Councillor Prendergast expressed a number of concerns about this application prior to leaving the meeting (9.10 p.m.).  It was noted that a separate response would be provided for Councillor Prendergast addressing the issues she had raised.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report with the amendment of condition 4 (Landscaping) to seek to enhance the current screening from Tong Lane provided by the existing oak trees, including investigation of the potential for sapling oaks (the precise wording of the amended condition to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development acting under delegated powers), with the proviso that the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to investigate the consultation response from Southern Gas Networks, identify whether or not there is a way it can be dealt with, and take action as appropriate.
