Recommendation: Approval

Single storey extension to north side and single storey extension to west side of existing sports hall.

Officers introduced the report and outlined details of the application.

This application sought full planning permission for two extensions to the existing sports hall within the grounds of Bishop Ramsey C of E School.  Members took into account the wider benefits it would provide through increased educational and indoor sporting facilities, which were supported by local and national planning policy, the impact of the proposal was deemed acceptable to the character of the area and the amenity of adjoining residential occupiers.  It was therefore considered that the application complies with various policies.

Officers informed Members that there was not much additional scope to replant the tree that was proposed to be removed.  It was highlighted that the application sat within a green site which would offset the loss of this particular tree.

The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded and on being put to the vote was unanimously agreed.

Resolved - That the application be approved as per the officers' report.
