Agenda item

The application was for the variation of Condition 4 of planning permission SU/12/0766 (relating to the erection a two storey rear/side extension) to alter the use of the dance studio for up to 12 Sundays in any calendar year.

This application would have normally been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation, however, it had been reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Councillor John Winterton due to the impact of the proposal on residential amenity and traffic.

Members received the following updates on the application:

“Correction: Recommendation in Paragraph 10.0 should read “Grant, subject to conditions”

County Highway Authority has raised no objections indicating that the Authority has no highway safety objections to the dance studio being used on Sundays when there are generally no peaks or troughs in traffic on the network.”

The officer recommendation to grant the application was proposed by Councillor Nick Chambers and seconded by Councillor Robin Perry.

RESOLVED that application 18/0338 be granted subject to the conditions as set out in the officer report.
