Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any pecuniary interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda.

If you have a pecuniary interest you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.

No interests were declared.

The Head of Planning and Enforcement has submitted four items to be determined.

Planning permission granted subject to conditions with an additional condition to be agreed by the Chair and Vice Chair.

Public speakers: Andrew Berwick (Objector), Dez Rigg (Parish Councillor), and Michelle Donaghey (Applicant/Agent)

After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Alex Hilton, seconded by Councillor Alan Whittaker and resolved (11 for, 2 Against, 0 Abstentions) that planning permission be granted subject to conditions with an additional condition to be agreed by the Chair and Vice Chair.

Planning permission refused.

Public speakers: Paul Atherton (Objector), Cllr Pauline McGovern (Ward Councillor), Cllr Alan Cullens (Ward Councillor) and Claire Wilkinson (Agent)

After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Alistair Morwood, seconded by Councillor Hilton to refuse planning permission.

The meeting adjourned at 19:17 and resumed at 19:25.

It was resolved (12 for, 0 against, and 1 abstention) that permission in principle be refused due to the fact that planning permission reference 01/00617/FUL was granted subjected to a condition (number 18) that required the application site to be retained as open land at all times. The Local Planning Authority attached significant weight to this condition which remains extant, it was not therefore appropriate to consider this proposal under the provisions of an application for permission in principle.

Planning permission granted subject to conditions.

Public speaker: Nicola Raby (Objector)

After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Keith Iddon, seconded by Councillor Craige Southern to refuse planning permission. It was then proposed by Councillor Karen Derbyshire, seconded by Councillor Alex Hilton, and subsequently resolved (11 for, 2 against, and 0 abstentions) that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

Planning permission granted subject to conditions.

Public speaker: Rob Harrison (Agent)

After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Chris Snow, seconded by Councillor Adrian Lowe, and resolved unanimously that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

Resolved: That the Appeals Report be noted.
