Unfortunately delays in signing the Section 106 Legal Agreements for the applications detailed above had arisen and the applications had not been refused.  However, there were special circumstances for the delays in that it took longer than expected to resolve the drainage at 15 Newton Road and there had been a change in land owner at 145-149 Winner Street.  Members were advised that in both instances the Section 106 Legal Agreements have now been signed and the Council’s legal fees have been paid.  Therefore, officers now sought Members approval to permit the applications and issue the decisions as the stated time limits had past.

That planning permissions for application P/2012/1231, 15 Newton Road, Torquay and application P/2012/0180/R4, 145-149 Winner Street, Paignton be issued.
