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 explained that the application was before Committee because of the requirement for a Section 106 Agreement to link to the Section 106 Agreement from the original application.  He also highlighted the comments of one of the local Members, Councillor D. Williams, that he considered the proposals to be acceptable provided that they did not impact upon previously agreed provision of affordable dwellings and semi-detached dwellings. 

            Councillor R.C. Bithell proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded.  Councillor R.B. Jones referred to conditions 17 and 26 which he felt had not been adhered to and he commented on the condition of the road due to changes undertaken by the developer on the entrance to the site.  Councillor Alison Halford referred to conditions 25 and 26, stating that the development had commenced.  Councillor P.G. Heesom concurred with Councillor Jones and asked the officer to raise the issues with the appropriate officer.  The Principal Solicitor advised that the Senior Engineer - Highways Development Control would refer the comments to the relevant officer.
