Planning Application - 1no. dwelling

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee following consideration by the Delegation Panel.  The matter was referred to the Delegation Panel because the Town Council had no objection to the proposal, which was contrary to the Officer recommendation of refusal, for the reason set out in Paragraph 23 of Report No DEV/SE/18/005.

The Planning Officer advised that since publication of the agenda one further letter of representation had been received in support of the scheme.

Speakers:    Councillor Sarah Stamp (Ward Member: Southgate) spoke in support of the application

                   Mr Ben Elvin (agent) spoke in support of the application

Councillor Alaric Pugh spoke in support of the scheme and proposed that the application be approved, contrary to the Officer recommendation of refusal.  This was duly seconded by Councillor David Nettleton who also spoke in support.

The motion for approval was verbally supported by a number of other Members, in light of which the Case Officer read out a number of conditions that would be applied to the application if approved.  Officers did not consider a risk assessment to be necessary.

Upon being put to the vote, and with the vote being unanimous, it was resolved that
