PROPOSAL:

purpose-built shared living units (Use Class Sui Generis), café (Use Class A3)

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to:
A. Any direction by the Secretary of State pursuant to the Consultation Direction
B. The prior completion of a legal agreement to secure the planning obligations set out within the reports.
That the Head of Planning is granted delegated authority to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives to secure the matters set out within the reports.
That the Head of Planning is 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
That the Committee confirms that adequate provision has been made, by the imposition of conditions for the preservation or planting of trees as required by Section 197 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

He referenced the supplementary reports that set out amendments to parts of the main report and recommended additional conditions 24 and 25 as detailed within the supplementary report, following a review of the committee report.

Councillor Kabir pointed out that the designation of the Burnt Oak area with a Town Centre Officer to work with businesses and residents would be enhanced by the applications.
