Decision:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning & Environment).
Minutes:
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 application had been brought to the Committee as the applicants were local Members. It related to the change of use of the vacant post office to incorporate it into the existing dwelling of which it formed part, to provide additional living accommodation. The late observations indicated that no objections had been received from Hawarden Community Council since preparation of the report.
Councillor Ian Dunbar proposed that the Committee approve the application in line with the officer recommendation. He referred to the widespread closure of post offices and pointed out that there were other facilities within walking distance.
Councillor Derek Butler drew attention to the fact that the site had been marketed in excess of 12 months in line with the policy.
On being put to the vote, the proposal to grant permission was carried.
RESOLVED:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning & Environment).
