Officers introduced the application and highlighted the information in the addendum. It was noted that there had been no objections from neighbours and the application was recommended for approval.
In response to questions from Members, it was confirmed that solar panels would be installed at the site.
Given the proximity of the mosque to the application site, Councillors requested
an amendment to the construction management plan to minimise disruption to attendees during hours of worship.
The Committee welcomed the application which would make good use of an empty building. The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the addendum, the conditions set out in the report and an amendment to the construction management plan to minimise disruption to attendees at the nearby mosque during hours of worship.
