Agenda item

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

A Members’ Update was submitted detailing a revised site map as shown on the agenda, agreed pre-commencement conditions and a further letter of objection.

Following the Officer’s presentation, Mr Raymond Stemp, the Agent, addressed the Committee.

A brief debate took place and the Committee acknowledged that the benefit with this application was that the development closed the gap and there was no more opportunity to extend further. It was also noted that having taken into account all material planning considerations the principle to erect a dwelling house had been established. 

The Chairman proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation, and this was seconded. The Chairman concurred that the development closed the gap and cannot be extended further.
