Agenda item

Cllr Chapman  had declared a prejudicial interest so left the room while this item was discussed.

 

A site visit with the Chair & Vice Chair of Planning Committee together with the Director of Conservation and Planning and the Senior Planning Officer had taken place on the previous day.

 

The Director of Conservation & Planning informed Members that the Authority was in negotiations with the applicant regarding the final wording of the S106 Obligation.  The Senior Planning Officer then went onto introduce the report and updated Members regarding a correction to Condition 26 of the report as this had now been agreed and the Condition partly discharged.

 

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:-

 

·         Mr Mark Dauncey, AMOS - Applicant

 

Members felt that the scheme was now taking shape and that the affordable houses were of high quality, although there was some concern that the size of the plots had been reduced.

 

The Officer recommendation to approve the application was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
