Agenda item

The application was for the variation of condition 11 of Planning Permission 16/0536 so as to allow change to location of proposed access.

This application should be read in-conjunction with application 17/0503 reported elsewhere on this agenda. 

Members were advised of the following updates:

‘The applicant has provided a further plan to show the visibility splays can be suitably achieved for the new access, which the County Highway Authority have confirmed is satisfactory.  As such, Condition 3 is proposed to be amended as follows:

3. The development hereby approved shall not be first occupied unless and until the proposed vehicular/pedestrian access has been constructed and provided with visibility zones in accordance with Plan SG-116 Rev A received 24.8.17 and thereafter the visibility zones shall be kept permanently clear of any obstruction above 1.05m high.’

Members were advised that there was extant consent at this site with a default position of approval for up to 10 units.

Some Members had concerns regarding the design as it would not be in keeping with the area.  In addition they had concerns about the access to the site.

Resolved that application 17/0504 be approved as amended subject to the conditions as set out in the report of the Executive Head – Regulatory.
