Agenda item

The Head of Law reminded the Committee that Mr R Helliwell had declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item, and that Cllr Mrs C Howe had declared a personal interest in it.

As Mr R Helliwell had declared a prejudicial interest, he left the room and took no part in the debate or voting.  Cllr Mrs C Howe remained in the room but would abstain from voting.

The following made representations to the committee under the Authority’s Public Participation Scheme:

·         Ginny Priestley, Supporter

·         Cllr S Beckett, Chair of Bamford with Thornhill Parish Council

A motion to approve the application with a modified design of the dormer windows was moved.

Members recognised that an approvable scheme was possible provided that the overall design was improved.

The motion to approve with modifications was withdrawn. A further motion to defer consideration of the application pending discussion between Officers and the Applicant to resolve design issues, was moved and seconded. This motion was put to the vote and carried.

Cllr Mrs C Howe abstained from voting.
