To consider the above application. Minutes: Consideration was given to the above report. As Councillor Mrs L Smetham was unable to attend the meeting to speak on the application, the Officer read out her comments.
RESOLVED
That the application be deferred in order for the applicant to be given the opportunity to submit revised plans for the Committee to consider.
(This decision was contrary to the Officers change in recommendation from one of refusal to one of delegation to the Development Management and Building Control Manager in consultation with the Chairman for approval subject to receipt of revised plans as set out in email from the applicant’s agent and subject to any conditions required. This change in recommendation from the Officer was as a result of the agent for the applicant confirming at a very late stage that his client was happy to agree to all of the requests that the Planning Officer had made, therefore the Planning Officer changed his recommendation on the basis of this new agreement). |
