Agenda item

To consider the report of the Director of Strategy, Performance and Governance, (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

The Officer presented their report to the Committee, after which Mr Chris Loon, from Springfield Planning and Development, spoke on behalf of the Applicant.

A short discussion ensued where Members expressed approval on the Parish Council being consulted.  It was noted that there would be little impact on neighbouring properties due to the height of trees along the boundary.

The Chairman put the Officer’s recommendation to a vote and the motion was duly carried.
