Agenda item

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

The Head of Development Management introduced the report and reminded Members of the enforcement issues on the site regarding the storage of equipment which was still ongoing and was nothing to do with this application, which should be determined under its own merit.  She also went on to inform Members of a further letter of representation that had been received from the Parish Council, which had originally objected to the application. The Officer read out the content as the Parish Council now “on balance” approved of the application.

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:

·         Mr Craig Barks – Agent

Members asked that Condition 7 regarding an improved/revised landscaping scheme be made a pre-condition and retained in perpetuity.   The Head of Development Management reported that this would be reasonable in the circumstances but that it would have to be agreed in writing, and that  the decision could be delegated to her so that the application would not have to come back before the Committee for approval.

The Members moved and seconded the recommendation to delegate the decision to the Head of Development to approve the application subject to a pre-condition regarding landscaping in perpetuity and the additional conditions set out in the report which was put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:
