RECOMMENDATION:  Approval subject to conditions

WARD: Bush Hill Park

NOTED

1.    The introduction by Kevin Tohill, Planning Decisions Manager.

2.    This item was considered alongside Item 7 – 17/04488/RE4.

3.    Members’ debate and questions responded to by officers.

4.    Following late representation from the Environment Agency in relation to environmental and flooding conditions, delegated authority be granted to the Head of Development Management to finalise conditions for deemed consent, in accordance with Regulation 4 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992.

5.    The unanimous support of the committee for the officers’ recommendation.

AGREED that planning permission be deemed to be granted, subject to the conditions set out in the report, Environment Agency conditions and a condition regarding details of boundary treatment.

Reason:  Members concerns about the appearance of the wire mesh fence proposed notwithstanding the landscaping and the limited benefit towards noise attenuation. Discussion focussed on a more substantial structure, possibly a wall which would attenuate noise and visible screen the A10.

Note: It was requested that when details pursuant to this condition are submitted to be discharged, Chair, Vice Chair, Opposition Lead and Cllr Lappage to be consulted.
