Recommendation : Approval

Change of use of ten (10) existing leisure moorings to residential moorings.

Officers introduced the report setting out the main issues of the application and the amendments set out in the addendum sheet circulated at the meeting. 

The Committee asked whether a condition to allocate and designate parking would be appropriate to ensure that the spaces were used for the purpose they were meant.

Officers advised that as the plans showed parking spaces for the residential moorings a condition would be reasonable.  The Committee agreed to the condition being added.

A Member asked that as the proposal was for residential moorings, could a Community Infrastructure levy (CIL) be requested.
