Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide housing and employment in an accessible location, with its benefits outweighing its limited disadvantages.
- The highways authority objected to servicing, while two responses were neutral and suggested swift bricks.
- The committee approved the application subject to a section 106 agreement and conditions.
