Confirmation received on behalf of Ratby Cricket Club that they have no objections to the above application.

Application for four temporary mobile classrooms for educational use, play area, 2.1 metre high gates and fence.

The agent spoke on this application.

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that permission be granted, some members felt that the proposed development would lead to additional demand for parking and would therefore be detrimental to highway safety due to overspill of parking onto Desford Lane and that the site was not a suitable location for mobile classrooms. It was moved by Councillor Boothby and seconded by Councillor O’Shea that permission be refused for this reason. Upon being put to the vote, the motion was LOST.

It was subsequently proposed by Councillor Findlay, seconded by Councillor Furlong and

RESOLVED –

(i)            Temporary permission be granted subject to the conditions contained in the officer’s report;

(ii)          The Planning Manager be granted powers to determine the final detail of planning conditions.
