Decision:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Head of Planning.
Minutes:
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.
The officer detailed the background to the report and drew Members’ attention to the comments of Connah’s Quay Town Council who had no objections to the application.
Councillor C.M. Jones proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded. She welcomed the application which would be sited on an industrial park and would have minimal visual impact, the noise levels would be low and there would be no detrimental impact on the area.
Councillor A.I. Dunbar said that the original application site had impacted on the residents of the area adjoining that site, but the company had taken account of residents’ concerns and had looked at sites on the industrial estate. Councillor P. Shotton welcomed and supported the application. Councillor R. Lloyd queried whether the appeal on the original site would still go ahead if this application was approved. In response, the Principal Solicitor advised Members that the appeal should not be a consideration in their determination of this application, but that the appeal was still current.
RESOLVED:
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Head of Planning.
