Issue - meetings

            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) and subject to the applicant entering into a Section 106 Obligation, Unilateral Undertaking or advance payment of £733 per apartment towards improvements to the existing play area at York Road, Connah’s Quay. 

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) in respect of this application.  The usual consultations had been undertaken and the responses received detailed in the report.

            The officer detailed the background to the report and explained that the application had been submitted to Committee because the delegation scheme did not permit a decision on this type of application to be delegated to the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment).  

            Councillor Ian Dunbar proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded.  He commented that the public house had been empty for a number of years and despite marketing, it had not been taken over.  The building was in a state of disrepair and was becoming an eyesore and the proposals in the application would be an improvement on what was currently in place.  He also welcomed the five reserved parking spaces which would be marked out for the occupiers of the proposed flats.  

            RESOLVED:

            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) and subject to the applicant entering into a Section 106 Obligation, Unilateral Undertaking or advance payment of £733 per apartment towards improvements to the existing play area at York Road, Connah’s Quay.
