Decision:
That the reasons for refusal proposed within the original resolution on application reference 048855 (relating to ecology, highway safety, density and lack of a geological survey) are not pursued by the Council in the preparation of a case in relation to the appeal against the non determination of the application.
Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning in respect of this application. Additional comments received since the preparation of the report were circulated at the meeting.
The Development Manager detailed the background to the report explaining that a consultant had been engaged to prepare a case for the appeal following the four reasons for refusal of the application put forward at the 14 March 2012 Committee. He had concluded that none of the reasons was sustainable at appeal and each of these was addressed in turn in the report. A view was now sought from Members on the stance to be taken by the Council at the appeal
Councillor H.G. Roberts proposed the recommendation not to pursue the four reasons for refusal put forward at the 14 March 2012 meeting which was duly seconded. Councillors R.C. Bithell and M.J. Peers concurred with the recommendation and Councillor Peers highlighted the density of the development in particular as not being a strong reason for refusal.
RESOLVED:
That the reasons for refusal proposed within the original resolution on application reference 048855 (relating to ecology, highway safety, density and lack of a geological survey) are not pursued by the Council in the preparation of a case in relation to the appeal against the non determination of the application.
