(Extract from Report PDC1115 Item 8 and Update Sheet 16 August 2018 refers).

At its meeting held on 16 August 2018, the Planning Committee agreed that the above application be referred to the Planning (Viewing) Sub-Committee for determination in order to allow Members to assess the proposed access route in the context of its setting, specifically with regard to the concerns raised of the safety of pedestrians and traffic. 

At that meeting, the Head of Development Management drew the Committee’s attention to the Update Sheet which set out additional Conditions 23 to 27.

In addition, at this meeting a verbal update was provided stating that amended plans had been received for an area of the site. As a result, an amendment had been made to Condition 14 to reflect the amended plan.

Furthermore, it was noted that reference to 14 parking spaces had since been changed to 15 parking spaces and that had subsequently been amended and condition 13 needs to be amended to reflect this.

Public participation had taken place at the aforementioned meeting of the Committee where Sylvia Conway-Jones spoke in objection to the application and Stephen Sherlock (Agent) spoke in support of the application.
