Decision:
Members had visited the site on the previous day.
The Planning Officer introduced the report.
The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:
· David Hopkins – Applicant
The Planning Officer confirmed the current building was the result of the 1997 planning permission.
The Officer recommendation for approval subject to conditions was moved and seconded.
The Members requested clarification regarding the requirement for obscure glazing on the rear facing elevation windows and rooflights as it appeared that there was no view from the windows due to the perimeter wall. The Planning Officer confirmed that there was a perception of overlooking and the introduction of the obscure glazing would remove this issue. Members requested that further discussion take place regarding the necessity for the obscure glazing.
The Officer recommendation for approval subject to changes to conditions 6 and 10 was voted on and carried.
