Agenda item

Erection of 56 bed residential care home, with associated car parking and infrastructure

Consideration was given to the report of the Senior Planning Officer regarding an application for the erection of a 56 bed residential care home, with associated car parking and infrastructure (for copy see file of Minutes).

S Pilkington, Senior Planning Officer gave a detailed presentation on the application which included photographs of the site.

Councillor Dixon considered that the objections outlined in the report had been addressed and sought an assurance that the application would proceed to development as another site in the town with planning permission for a care home remained undeveloped.  

The Senior Planning Officer advised that plans were well-advanced and an end provider had been identified by the applicant.

Councillor Nicholson shared the views of Councillor Dixon, noting that there had been no opposition to the proposed development from consultees.

Upon a vote being taken it was unanimously Resolved:

That the application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report.
