Minutes:
Note: Mr Alexander McCallion (agent for the applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report (together with an oral update on the site visit) regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reason:-
In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the condition is necessary, and without it the application would not have complied with the relevant development plan policies BE.3 (Access and Parking), TRAN.3: (Pedestrians), TRAN.5 (Provision for Cyclists) and would have been refused. The condition is also considered to be, relevant to planning; relevant to the development to be permitted; enforceable and precise. Whilst the University’s financial position is noted, having regard to the advice in PPS1 in respect of financial hardship, and the extent of the works required it is not considered that the condition places an unreasonable burden on the University. It considered that the amenity impact of the new cycle and pedestrian path would be minimal and for these reasons the condition is considered to be reasonable in all other respects. The condition therefore complies with all 6 tests as set out in Circular 11/95 and should be retained.
