Councillor M Brown had requested this application be determined by Committee.

There were no late items.

A statement was read out on behalf of Paul Gaughan, the applicant.  Keith Baker, objecting, made representation to the Committee prior to the general debate.

After considering all of the representations put before the Committee, the debate focused on whether the highways were to be adopted, concern that the drains were not to be adopted and the density of the proposed development.

Discussions progressed on to the risk of the site flooding, with further concerns that the proposed development would also contribute to flooding in the general area.  It was noted that there was a discrepancy in the report regarding comments from the Local Lead Flood Authority.

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that there be a brief recess to establish precisely what comments from the Local Lead Flood Authority had been received. On being put to the meeting the motion was carried and there was a brief adjournment. The meeting resumed thereafter.

It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that the item be deferred in order that there be certainty on the drainage scheme, in particular that the Local Lead Flood Authority had approved it.

RESOLVED that the planning application be deferred.

Reasons

In order that there be certainty on the drainage scheme, in particular that the Local Lead Flood Authority had approved it.
