Officers advised that condition 1 needed to be amended to replace ‘1 year’ with ‘4 months’.

A member asked for a condition to be added to ensure that the 2 parking spaces currently provided, remained and were retained for so long as the development was in existence.  The inclusion of the condition was agreed by the Committee.

Concerns were raised in regard to the property being large and asked if a condition should be added to restrict Permitted Development rights.

Officers suggested that the wording of such a condition be deferred to enable officers to look at what further development under pd rights could be undertaking.  The wording of the condition was to be agreed by the Chairman and Labour Lead.   The committee agreed to the condition being added.
