OFFICER RECOMMENDATION: Grant consent in principle subject to the completion of a satisfactory Section 106 legal agreement and request that Members delegate authority to the Director of Environment and Culture, or duly authorised person, to agree the exact terms thereof on advice from the Borough Solicitor; but if the agreement has not been entered into within a time to be agreed, to refuse permission but delegate authority to the Head of Area Planning to grant permission in respect of a further application which is either identical to the current one or, in his opinion, not materially different, provided that a section 106 agreement containing the above terms has been entered into.

With reference to the tabled supplementary, Steve Weeks clarified the relationship between the application site and No. 59 Beverley Gardens adding that the proposal was considered to provide sufficient levels of outlook from the kitchen window of No. 59 Beverley Gardens. He informed the Committee that enforcement notices (2) had been served on 63 Beverley Gardens and the adjoining land for breaches of planning conditions as set out in the tabled supplementary.
