Proposal: Erection of two replacement units designed to match the original units following fire damage and demolition of the original units.

Sarah Madondo, Principal Planning Officer, introduced the report for erection of two replacement industrial units, designed to match the original units, following fire damage and demolition of the original units.

The following was noted in response to questions from the committee:

• This was previously developed land and located in flood risk zone 2.
• The fire at this development happened in 2019, officers did not have details of what happened. The proposed building  is not a high rise building subject to Gateway One; and fire matters would be considered in detail through Building Regulations.
• Not all commercial developments need parking on site, this would depend on the plans for usage. There will need to be a section 278 agreement secured  under the planning  obligations. It is not uncommon for industrial estates to have offloading taking place on the carriageway.
• A financial obligation towards employment initiatives is calculated on the basis of a formula.

The Chair asked Catherine Smyth, Head of Development Management and Enforcement Planning to sum up the recommendations as set out in the report. The Chair moved that the recommendation be approved following a unanimous decision.

That the Committee authorise the Head of Development Management & Planning Enforcement or the Assistant Director of Planning, Building Standards & Sustainability to GRANT planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out below and the completion of a legal agreement satisfactory to the Head of Development Management & Planning Enforcement or the Assistant Director of Planning, Building Standards & Sustainability, that secures the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms.

That the legal agreement referred to in resolution (2.1) above, is to be completed no later than 3 months from the date of the Planning Sub-Committee meeting or within such extended time as the Assistant Director for Planning, Building Standards & Sustainability/ Head of Development Management & Planning Enforcement shall in his sole discretion allow; and

2.3 That, following completion of the agreement(s) referred to in resolution (2.1) within the time period provided for in resolution (2.2) above, planning permission shall be granted in accordance with the Planning Application subject to the attachment of the conditions and informatives; and
