The Principal Planning Officer advised Members of an error in the appendix to the report titled ‘Draft Heads Of Terms’. He confirmed that the sum required for provision of open space was £11,570 and not £12,600 as listed in the appendix.

 

Councillor Mrs. A.E. Gray, one of the Local Ward Members, felt that granting the application would have a beneficial impact on the lives of the local residents. She was however concerned that the construction road could be dangerous to children playing at the nearby play area.

 

In response to the point raised by the Local Ward Member, the Development Control Manager noted that Health and Safety issues would have to be resolved by the Developer.
