The Committee agreed to receive the Update Sheet as an addendum to Report PDC1142.

At its meeting held on 15 August 2019, the Planning Committee agreed that the above application be deferred for determination at the Committee’s next meeting in order to allow for a site visit to view the proposed application in the context of its setting and the relationship with the neighbouring properties and to assess the potential impact of light spillage.  Only those Members who had been present at the Committee on 15 August 2019 would be able to take part in the determination.

Public participation had taken place at the aforementioned meeting of the Committee where Geraldine Rothman and Rebecca Rothman spoke in objection to the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.  Ward Member Councillor Hiscock had also spoken on this item at the previous meeting.

Therefore, on Tuesday 10 September the Committee had visited the application site where Members had viewed the proposed application in the context of its setting and the relationship with the neighbouring properties and had assessed the potential impact of light spillage.

The Service Lead: Built Environment presented the application to re-familiarise Members with the proposal and stated that the application had been taken to the Planning Committee for determination with a recommendation to grant permission.

The Service Lead: Built Environment stated that had been no further material changes to the application since the meeting on 15 August 2019 and that as requested at the previous Committee meeting, an assessment of the impact of light had been undertaken and was submitted on 5 September 2019.  The additional information provided consisted of light spill diagrams (reference: AP083) and associated statement and this information was explained to the Committee.  In addition, a verbal update was provided that a letter had been received concerning the ownership details of the application property.  This letter had been considered and it had been determined that the application was valid and a decision could be made.
