The Central Team Leader noted that this was an outline application and that the details, other than the means of access, would be subject to a reserved matters application.  He noted the concerns of local residents but it was felt that, with appropriate conditions, the amenities of the locality would be satisfactorily protected.

Councillor R.I. Matthews, the Local Ward Member, noted that Credenhill Parish Council had no objections and that the recommended conditions should address the concerns of adjoining neighbours.

Councillor Ms. A.M. Toon felt that the application site was cramped and expressed concerns about density and congestion. 

The Central Team Leader reminded Members that they needed to consider the application before them and that the application was considered acceptable by Officers.

Councillor Matthews noted that the Officers had examined the location of the proposal and, to address concerns about potential overdevelopment, changes had been made as a result.

In response to a question, the Development Control Manager explained that the map attached to the report was an Ordnance Survey map to illustrate the general location of the application site and the map displayed at the meeting was indicative of the proposed layout of the actual proposal.
