The Committee reconsidered an outline application for 3 dwelling houses and associated improvements to the private access lane serving the site, with all matters reserved.

Members noted that a resolution to approval the proposals had been made in September 2020 but that officers now advised that, due to land ownership issues and amended advice from the Council’s ecological consultants, the terms of the proposed planning obligation needed to be amended.

Prior to the meeting, Members of the Planning Committee undertook a virtual site visit and written representations were available on the Council’s Website.

At the meeting Sally King addressed the Committee in support of the application.
