(Outline planning permission for 16 dwellings with all matters reserved except access.)

The Principal Planning Officer gave a presentation on the application.

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking for virtual meetings, Mr J Daniels, a local resident, submitted a written submission in objection to the scheme.  This was read to the meeting.  Mr N Beddoe, the applicant’s agent spoke in support of the application as a virtual attendee.

In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, the local ward member, Councillor Symonds, spoke on the application.  In summary, he expressed particular concern about a number of highway issues.  The proposed highway access was not the best solution. He requested the Committee to defer the application and require the applicant to resubmit the application with the access onto Merrivale Lane to be located at the southern end of the development. If the application were to be approved he requested a number of conditions.

The Lead Development Manager cautioned against deferring the application.

The Committee discussed the application.

The local ward member was given the opportunity to close the debate.  He reiterated his requests for consideration to be deferred with a request for an alternative access to be provided and for additional conditions if the application were to be approved.

The Lead Development Manager commented that consideration could be given to the proposed additional condition together with the addition of Ross Rowing Club to the s106 agreement.
