Ms Victoria McDonagh (Development Management Team Leader) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. In reference to the supplementary report, she informed the Committee that officers had addressed the additional objection raised that the proposal would be of detriment to local parking stress and the character of the area in the main report.
Ms Kamil Kaul spoke in objection on behalf of Sudbury Town Residents Association (STRA) and added that STRA had sent a request late this afternoon, to the Secretary of State for the Environment to call in the application for the following reasons: The proposed development is in conflict with the policies of the 2015 Sudbury Town Neighbourhood Plan; the development raises significant architectural and urban design issues which, if granted, would set a significant precedent for further high-rise development in the area; inadequate period within which residents could respond appropriately to the officer’s report. She therefore requested the Committee to defer consideration of the application pending the Secretary of State’s decision on the request.
David Glover (Development Management Manager) recommended that the application be considered by the Committee and that if a resolution is passed, that resolution is subject to the consideration of the call-in request by the Secretary of State. ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
