Agenda item

To consider the report of the Director of Place, Planning and growth (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

A Members’ Update was circulated prior to the meeting containing an additional proposed condition.

The Officer presented their report, following this Members raised concerns over a second entrance to the site that could be used for access to the store. The Officer responded that there was a condition that was in place to stop this that is precise and enforceable. The condition was put in as a precaution as this is seen as a low risk.

A Member raised concerns over the access to the site stating that unbound materials used on the access could cause problems on the road and lead to constant repair work they wanted a condition to make sure the applicant improves the access.

The Director of Place, Planning and Growth suggested that a condition could be put in to improve the access prior to operation of the site. The Committee responded with general acceptance.

Councillor V J Bell then put forward a proposal to accept the application including the additional condition. This was duly seconded.
