Issue - meetings

The Committee considered an application for the creation of an additional storey above the east wing to provide 7 x one-bedroom flats and conversion of 1 x three-bedroom maisonette to 1 x one-bedroom flat, the addition of green roofs to the east and west wings and green walls to the north and south elevations and insertion of an external staircase.

Councillor L Morales raised concern that Condition 6 referred to planting seasons and was worried that this may lead to gaps in the green wall which would not be addressed until the following season. It was also thought that reference to seasonal planting was more relevant to trees than plants. In light of these comments the Planning Officer proposed that Condition 6 be removed and Condition 7 be updated to address these concerns. The Committee supported this proposal and delegated authority to the Development Manager to make the relevant changes to Condition 7.

In accordance with Standing Order 22.2, the Chairman deemed that a division should be taken on the motion above.  The votes for and against approval of the application were recorded as follows.

In favour:                           Cllrs S Ashall, T Aziz, A Boote, G Elson, S Hussain, N Martin and L Morales.

                                 TOTAL:  7

Against:                              Cllr L Lyons.

                                 TOTAL:  1

Present but not voting:      Cllr G Chrystie

                                 TOTAL:  1

The application was therefore approved.

RESOLVED

(i)            That planning permission be granted subject to conditions and Section 106 agreement; and

(ii)           Condition 6 be removed and authority be delegated to the Development Manager to amend condition 7 to include replanting details.
