Councillor B Hunt, one of the Local Ward Members, expressed some concern over the Transport Officer’s comments in the report and felt that highway safety issues had not been addressed properly. He welcomed the applicant’s comments regarding the footpath and noted the comments of the Parish Council.

 

The Northern Team Leader assured Members that any funds raised thorough the section 106 agreement would be spent locally where possible. He asked that the committee delegate the decision to officers in consultation with the Local Members regarding the position of the roadside wall.
