            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Head of Planning and to the additional Grampian condition referred to in the late observations.

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning in respect of this application.  The usual consultations had been undertaken and the responses received detailed in the report.  Additional comments received since the preparation of the report were circulated at the meeting.

            The officer explained that the application was for a 100% affordable housing scheme. 

            Mr. C. Sparrow spoke in support of the application, as a representative of the applicant.  He said that it was a partnership project with Flintshire County Council with funding being by way of a grant and private finance.  The mix of properties had been derived from work with the Council’s Housing Team and the dwellings would be highly energy efficient, including a number of dwellings for wheelchair users.  The funding was for this financial year and if the application was approved it was hoped it would be completed in April or May 2014.  

            The officer drew Members’ attention to paragraph 7.17 on drainage issues and said that advice from the Acting Head of Engineering Services was reported in the late observations. 

            Councillor H.G. Roberts proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded.

            RESOLVED:

            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Head of Planning and to the additional Grampian condition referred to in the late observations.
