Agenda item

To consider the planning application and recommendations of the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated).

Councillor Miss S White, a Ward Member, advised that she did not have concern with the hanger but raised residents’ concerns regarding there not being any conditions attached to the suggested approval of this application.  In response Officers advised that the 2009 application covered use of the wider site and related condition still applied and therefore these could not be placed on this application.  It was noted that any conditions attached to an approval had to be relevant to the development.  An informative was suggested by Officers but not supported by Members.

Following further debate Councillor Miss White advised that as the temporary permission expired in 2017 the application should be deferred to allow research into appropriate conditions and if not deferred she proposed the application be refused and made comment about Members voting.  This proposal was duly seconded.  The Chairman put this proposal of deferment to the Committee but upon a vote being taken the motion was declared lost.

In accordance with Procedure Rule 13 (3) Councillor J P F Archer requested a recorded vote.  This was duly seconded by Councillor Miss White.

The Chairman then put the Officers’ vote of approval to the Committee. 

For the recommendation:

Councillors E L Bamford, H M Bass, M F L Durham, J B Keyes, A K M St. Joseph and Mrs M E Thompson.

Against the recommendation:

Councillors J P F Archer and Miss S White.

Abstention:

There were none.

In response to a comment made regarding voting, it was noted that Members were on the Committee to vote on all matters and did so with an open mind whether or not an application was within their particular Ward or not.
