Councillor R E Bofinger had requested that this proposal come before Committee.

There were a number of late items including two changes to conditions, which were noted by the Committee.

Ahmed Zidouri, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Committee and a statement was read out on behalf of a resident, objecting, prior to the general debate. 

Having given due regard to all of the representations before it, the Committee commenced the debate, raising concerns about appearance of the site and the impact of the visual amenity on residents.  There was a discussion about the noise from current traffic, the jet washers and vacuum cleaners, including the impact of acoustic screens and housing for machinery.  It was noted that the revised wording of condition 2 made specific requirements for the height and density of materials. 

It was proposed by Councillor G Bunn and seconded by Councillor G Marshall that planning permission be granted temporarily for one year through an additional condition, that the fence be stepped back in line and that the precise wording of the condition be delegated to the Vice Chair of the Planning Committee, the Planning Manager and the Head of Planning and Economic Development.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

It was further proposed by Councillor S J Carr and seconded by Councillor D K Watts that the item be deferred to allow further information to be gathered.  On being put to the meeting the motion fell.
