To consider an application which has been referred to the Committee because it is from a Member of the Council.

 

Ward:  Hope End

The Northern Team Leader presented the report of the Head of Planning and Transportation on an application for the subdivision of a five-bedroomed dwelling at Stanley Hill Court into a two-bedroomed dwelling and a three-bedroomed dwelling.  He advised that no representations had been received from the local parish council and that although the observations of the highways department had not yet been received, the same conditions were proposed as for the previous permission for the five-bedroomed house.  Councillor RV Stockton, one of the Local Ward Members, recommended that the application should be approved, feeling that the proposal would enable a more sensible housing provision on the site.  The Committee was in agreement.
