Agenda item

Construction of 12 no. dwellings with associated parking, access landscaping and alteration to bus shelter.

The Senior Planning Officer, Barry Gavillet gave a detailed presentation on the report relating to the abovementioned planning application, copies of which had been circulated (for copy see file of minutes).  Members noted that the written report was supplemented by a visual presentation which included photographs of the site.  The application was for a construction of 12 no. dwellings with associated parking, access and alteration to a bus shelter and was recommended for approval subject to conditions. 

The Senior Planning Officer informed Members that the report included reference to Trimdon Parish Council and should have stated Trimdon Foundry Parish Council.

The Chairman noted there were no registered Speakers and asked Members of the Committee for their questions and comments on the application.

Councillor P Conway noted that the application appeared to be straightforward and presented a “win-win” in terms of providing additional housing and bringing a derelict site back into use.

Councillor P Conway moved that the application be approved; he was seconded by Councillor A Laing.

RESOLVED

That the application be APPROVED subject to the conditions detailed in the

Officer’s report to the Committee.
