Minutes:
Demolition of existing library and construction of a new mixed-use building comprising a replacement library and 9 x residential dwellings with car parking, cycle parking, waste storage and associated infrastructure
Officers introduced the application, noting the addendum which amended conditions to ensure a policy compliant level of car parking was provided, and to improve air quality.
Members expressed support for investing in new library facilities, emphasising the public benefits and the prospect of creating additional housing.
Members raised a query about the parking provisions, which were clarified to prioritise parking allocation for the three-bedroom family units via specific conditions. It was anticipated that people visiting the library would likely already be in the town centre and so would not generate single purpose trips.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved as per officer’s recommendations
