Minutes:

(This application was considered after application 09/1869M).

 

Consideration was given to the above application.

 

At a meeting of the Strategic Planning Board on 29th July 2009 the Board delegated power to the Head of Policy & Planning to approve the above application, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and Ward Councillor A Arnold, once satisfied regarding conditions and a completed s106 Legal Agreement. The delegation was made so that the Head of Policy & Planning could resolve outstanding issues relating to conservation and listed building matters and impose suitable conditions in addition to those listed in the report.

 

Before exercising his delegated power the Head of Policy & Planning referred two matters to the Board

 

(i)    a minor amendment of the application to include D1 use on the ground floor of the office block. The time period for representations following renotification of the amendment had not yet expired.

 

(ii)   Composition of the commuted sum payment to be secured in the s106 Agreement in respect of amenity and playspace.

 

RESOLVED

 

(1)  Having no objection to a minor amendment of the proposals to allow D1 use on the ground floor of the office block, the Board re-affirmed delegation of power to the Head of Policy and Planning, following expiry of the consultation period, to approve the amended application subject to satisfactory conditions and a prior appropriate Legal Agreement.

 

(2)  Without waiver of obligations due in respect of amenity and playspace, the Board had no objection to those obligations being met by a combination of direct works and financial payments, provided that any direct works were specified and valued to the satisfaction of the Leisure Service Manager.
