Demolition of existing buildings and construction of 40 flats including provision of 30% of units as affordable housing with associated landscaping and parking. 

The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above application.  An update report was tabled at the meeting giving an update on affordable housing and details of revised plans submitted to attempt to deal with concerns regarding bin storage and parking.  The update report recommended an additional condition omitted in error from the original report and some amendments to conditions for clarification.  It was reported at the meeting that no further response had been received from the Access Officer and that the Environment Agency had responded that the application should be seen against standing advice and that they were not to be consulted.

Comments were received and considered.
