Decision:

Councillor G Cutting addressed the Committee in support of the application as an adjacent ward Member to the ward where this site was located.  He detailed his reasons for supporting the application and urged Members to approve planning permission.

 

The Head of Planning and Building Control recommended that in respect of application 3/14/0395/FP, planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report now submitted.

 

The Head confirmed to Councillor J Jones that policy GIP1c related to green lungs and this policy stipulated that no development was to take place in these areas.  Officers were of the view that the application would have a very modest impact that could not be classed as significant.

 

The Head responded to a comment from Councillor J Goodeve by advising that the distance between the proposed new housing and the proposed animal rescue centre was in the region of 100 to 150 metres.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the Committee accepted the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Building Control as now submitted.

 

RESOLVED – that in respect of application 3/14/0395/FP, planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report.
