The application was brought to the Committee because proposed developer section 106 (S106) contributions would not be policy compliant.

There were no late items pertaining to the application.

Stuart Goodwill, applicant, addressed the Committee prior to the general debate.

There were a number of concerns regarding the reduced amount of s106 monies that had been proposed by the developer, but it was noted that these had been agreed by an independent consultant through a viability assessment.  The debate progressed on to whether or not the number of car parking spaces proposed as part of the development was sufficient. 

The Committee discussed how the £230,000 S106 monies should be allocated.  There was general agreement that more information was required to make this part of the decision.  It was proposed by Councillor D K Watts and seconded by Councillor J W McGrath that the allocation of the £230,000 section 106 monies be deferred to a future meeting of the Committee for further consideration.  On being put to the Committee the motion was passed.
