External and internal refurbishment works to the original 1950s school building, including new windows, roofs and over-cladding of the 2-storey block, temporary modular unit to the front of the site to facilitate the works, and associated external works affected by the refurbishment.

The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above application.  A verbal update was given at the meeting recommending an amendment to Condition 10 and explaining that the reference to tree removal on the site in paragraph 4.2.2 of the report was from an arboricultural assessment from 2014 and that those trees had already been removed, so this reference was no longer relevant.

Comments were received and considered.

Resolved –    That, pursuant to Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992, the carrying out of the development 100170/REG3 be authorised, subject to the conditions and informatives as recommended in the report, with Condition 10 amended to read:

10.     Temporary use of the mobile unit only – to be removed from site by 30 September 2020.
