Agenda item

The application was for the erection of a 3.4 metre security perimeter fence, single storey security building with associated parking.

This application would normally have been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation, however, it was reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Councillor E Hawkins.

Members received the following updates:

‘The Garden History Society has now considered the proposal and in their consultation response, raise no objection’

Members felt that the proposal was a good design and welcomed the change.

Some Members were concerned about the flooding issues in Frimley and asked whether this could be looked at as part of the application as the balancing pond was on the site.

Officers advised that the drainage officer had not raised any issues and there had been a flood risk assessment issued.
