Councillor Gohil had declared a non-pecuniary interest in this item and removed themselves from the room for the duration of the item.

Officers introduced the application and gave an outline of the proposals highlighting that the application was recommended for approval.

A petition in objection had been received against this application. The lead petitioner had submitted a statement to be read out to the Committee. Key points raised in the petitioner’s statement included:

·       The lead petitioner thanked planning officers for their consideration of the concerns raised in the petition.

·       It was deemed that the original concerns raised in the petition had been dealt with both reasonably and fairly, and as such they were in agreement with the recommended conditions suggested by officers.

·       It was requested that, should the Committee be minded to grant planning permission, they should seek to include all of the recommended conditions.

The Committee congratulated planning officers on their hard work on this application and addressing the concerns raised by local residents. It was noted that the lead petitioner was now happy that their concerns had been addressed, therefore the officers recommendation was proposed, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously approved.
