86 no. dwellings, associated boundaries, garages & roads & diversion of public right of way.

The Committee considered a report of the Planning Officer regarding the proposed development of 86 no. dwellings, associated boundaries, garages and roads and diversion of a public right of way at land east of Windsor Place, Shotton (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Principal Planning Officer gave a detailed presentation on the application which included photographs of the site.  Members of the Committee had visited the site earlier in the day and were familiar with the location and setting. It was reported that since the officers report had been published comments had since been received from the Environment Agency who confirmed they had no objections to make on the proposal.

Attention was drawn to the comments made by both the Landscape Officer and the concerns raised in relation to pollution control. Taking those comments into consideration the Principal Planning Officer suggested that various amendments be made to the conditions as detailed within the report.

In relation to condition 5 of the officer report, additional wording would be added to include noise sources.

It was further suggested that conditions 6 and 10 be combined and reworded accordingly.

Seconded by Councillor A Bell, Councillor A Laing moved approval of the application with the amended conditions.

Resolved: That the application be approved subject to completion of a Section 106 agreement and conditions detailed within the report with amendments to conditions 5, 6 and 10 as suggested by the Principal Planning Officer with responsibility for the wording of the additional conditions delegated to the Principal Planning Officer.
