Issue - meetings

Further to Minute 15 of 29 June 2022, the Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for the erection of 9 houses, together with a new vehicular access and associated works (part alternative to application reference DC/2017/00821) be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report.

The Chief Planning Officer reported that, in accordance with the previous decision of the Committee, the applicant had carried out a further traffic survey on Bankfield Lane in an attempt to address the highway issues raised at the previous Planning Committee meeting. This had been reviewed by the Council’s Highways Manager who had raised no objections and was satisfied that the proposal would not give rise to highway safety concerns.

Prior to consideration of the application the Committee heard a written representation[PF1] [NK2]  from Councillor Lloyd-Johnson as Ward Councillor against the proposed development.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendation be not approved and the application be refused for the reason that the proposed development does not comply with the site-specific requirements set out in Policy MN2 (site reference MN2.2) of the Local Plan which stipulates that there should only be one point of access.
