Outline Application for the demolition of existing buildings and erection of a building of up to five storeys containing 30 flats, ground floor retail space and associated parking, with landscaping reserved.

The Committee considered a report on the above application which explained that consideration of the application had been deferred at the previous meeting to explore options for securing the possibility of community uses at ground floor level. The report proposed an amendment to the originally proposed Condition 4 to widen the use class restriction from Class E to Classes E and F2.  The report had appended the original report submitted to the 1 November 2023 Committee meeting.

Resolved –

(1)          That the Assistant Director of Planning, Transport and Public Protection Services be authorised to grant planning permission for application 221345/OUT, subject to the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement by 1 February 2024 (unless a later date be agreed by the Assistant Director of Planning, Transport and Public Protection Services) to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the 1 November 2023 report;

(2)          That, in the event of the requirements set out not being met, the Assistant Director of Planning, Transport and Public Protection Services be authorised to refuse permission;

(3)          That planning permission be subject to the conditions and informatives as recommended in the 1 November 2023 report, with the amendment to Condition 4 set out in the 6 December 2023 report.
