Relocation of an existing children’s play area within Victoria Park and the reinstatement of the existing children’s play area to an informal open space.

The Committee considered a report on the above application.

Comments were received and considered.

It was reported at the meeting that there was a typographical error in Condition 5 which should refer to nine new trees not 38.

Resolved –

That, pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, planning permission be authorised for application 240073/REG3, subject to the conditions and informatives as recommended, with the correction of 38 new trees in Condition 5 to nine new trees.

(Councillor Rowland declared a prejudicial interest in this Item on the grounds of predetermination.  She was Ward Councillor for the area and had expressed her views in favour of an improved playground.  She made a statement to the Committee as Ward Councillor but then left the room and took no further part in the debate or decision.)
