Planning committee

Deferred unanimously
- Officers advised approval because the allocated-site development was acceptable, subject to legal contributions and conditions.
- The parish council and residents raised concerns about privacy, traffic, flooding, infrastructure and the effect on children’s safety.
- Members unanimously voted to defer the application so access-road and drainage matters could be investigated further.
