That the Head of Planning be granted delegated authority to make changes to the wording of the Committee’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions, informatives, planning obligations or reasons for the decision) prior to the decision being actioned, provided that the Head of Planning is satisfied that any such changes could not reasonably be regarded as deviating from the overall principle of the decision reached by the committee nor that such change(s) could reasonably have led to a different decision having been reached by the Committee.

Ms Victoria McDonagh (Development Management Team Leader) introduced the report, outlining the key aspects of the application as set out within the main report and answered Members’ questions. She referenced the supplementary report in which members noted the applicant’s agreement for a contribution for an amount of £200,000 towards implementing a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). She drew members’ attention to a number of amended conditions requested by the agent and considered acceptable, as detailed within the supplementary report.
Mr Pravin Patel (in remote attendance) raised objections to the scheme on the following grounds:
· Excessive height of blocks A & G would be overbearing and substantially alter the character of the area.
· Loss of privacy to the occupiers of a property in Stag Lane adjacent to block G
· The entrance to upper levels of block A to/from courtyard would result in loss of residential amenities to Stag Lane residents.
· Lack of adequate infrastructure in terms of school places, doctors’ surgery, hospitals and day care facility.
· Inadequate public transport infrastructure to support the scheme.
