To consider the above planning application
Minutes:
Councillor L Gilbert (local Ward Member), Mr L Burgess (Objector) and Mr T Bentley (Agent) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered the report regarding the above planning application which sought removal of a condition, imposed by the Strategic Planning Board, in respect of the construction of a mini roundabout to serve the site. Following a lengthy debate, the Board concluded that it had insufficient information to determine the application. Accordingly, it was
RESOLVED:
That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, the report be DEFERRED to enable further exploration of the proposed condition and the implications of that proposal on the application. In particular, the Board requested further information regarding the highway safety implications and the practicality of providing a roundabout situated within the site and the public highway at Marsh Lane/Station Road south of the junction with Manor Lane. This should be accompanied by assessment of the comparative impact upon the listed Marsh Hall of the T junction and the roundabout proposals.
Note: Councillor Gilbert left the meeting at this point in the proceedings.
