Decision details

Application for residential development of up to 23 dwellings (outline – access only).

Whilst generally in support of the application, concern was expressed that there was no contribution to health recommended as part of the S106 agreement. In response it was explained that this was because the health authority had not responded to the consultation with a request for a contribution. Councillor Cartwright, seconded by Councillor Sutton, moved that the decision to grant planning permission be delegated to the Head of Planning and Development following discussion with the health authority on requirement for a contribution to health. Upon being put to the vote, the motion was CARRIED and it was

RESOLVED – permission be granted subject to:

(i)            The conditions contained in the officer’s report;

(ii)           Prior completion of a S106 agreement to secure the following obligations:
