RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions and/or subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, which set out the application, the site and its surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses and analysis. The Planning Officer gave a presentation on the key aspects of the report, and advised that under the recommendation on page 103 of the agenda pack, point 2. should read ”Monitoring costs of £1,000.00”.

In response to questions regarding the Equalities Impact Assessment and access, it was confirmed that the proposed building incorporated a lift for access to all floors and also that any disabled resident would be entitled to park within the CPZ and would also be entitled to apply for the provision of a disabled parking bay. The Committee suggested a training session on parking issues, and it was agreed that this would be arranged.
