(1) That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to conditions and informatives as set out within the report.
(2) 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.

Whilst noting that the west facing elevation diagram in the report pack showed that the development would be set back, Mr Parikh was not satisfied that this would effectively mitigate his concerns and felt that even if a high party wall or trees were used as green ... view the full minutes text for item 5. |
