The application had been brought before Committee by Councillor M Radulovic MBE and was deferred at the meeting of 30 March 2022 to allow the developer to address concerns about the height of the proposed development.

 

There were no late items and no public speakers.

 

The Committee noted that the developer had reduced the height of the proposed development, but there was concern that the height of the properties could be increased and that the dormer windows could be added under permitted development rights.  It was proposed by Councillor R I Jackson and seconded by Councillor D K Watts that the planning permission be amended to include a condition that removed permitted development rights regarding height and dormer windows.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.
