Minutes:

It was noted that Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

The Area Manager - North reported that the Planning Policy team now had no objections to the proposal and that an extra condition should be added to the recommendation to cover landscaping and design of the wall.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Mr B Moorhouse, Applicant’s father and supporter

·         Mr M Moorhouse, Applicant

 

Mr Moorhouse, the applicant, queried some of the conditions including number 9 regarding storage of plant and materials, loading/unloading, manoeuvring and parking of vehicles.  It was agreed to amend condition 9 to state ‘Storage of plant and materials to take place within the site area only’.  He also requested that Members consider whether the windows on the front elevation could be Upvc in order to reflect other buildings on the road.

 

The recommendation for approval subject to conditions including the amended and extra conditions was moved and seconded.

 

In response to Members’ queries officers stated the proposals would significantly enhance the site so on balance were acceptable.  With regard to parking there were no objections from the Highway Authority.  It was also queried why there was no request for electric vehicle charging points and it was noted there was currently no policy requiring them.
