Former Councillor E Kerry has requested this application be determined by Committee on behalf of former Councillor P Roberts-Thompson. The request was made prior to the Elections of 4 May 2023, when both were in office.
There were no late items and no public speakers.
The Committee considered all of the information before it. There was concern about the lack of car parking spaces and that this would cause an amenity issue for local residents. There was also concern about the large expanse of driveway and the problems for drainage that this could present.
It was proposed by Councillor G Bunn and seconded by Councillor D K Watts that should planning permission be granted, a condition be added requiring that the driveway be constructed from permeable material to ensure that there was sufficient drainage. On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.
RESOLVED that should planning permission be granted, a condition be added requiring that the driveway be constructed from permeable material to ensure that there was sufficient drainage.
Recommendation
RESOLVED that planning permission, as amended to include a condition be added requiring that the driveway be constructed from permeable material, be granted subject to the following conditions.
