This application was referred to the Development Control Committee as the Parish Council objected to the proposal which was in conflict with the Officer’s recommendation for approval, subject to conditions as set out in Paragraph 27 of Report No DEV/SE/19/026.

A Member site visit was held prior to the meeting.

The Senior Planning Officer advised that since publication of the agenda the applicant had made changes to the indicative layout and the amended plans were shown to Members as part of her presentation to the Committee.  However, Members were reminded that the plans were indicative only in light of the application before the Committee being in outline form.

Attention was also drawn to the application previously made for the site and the related TPO; Members were assured that the Council’s Tree Officer had raised no concerns with the application before them.
