Planning committee

Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the upgraded sports facility was acceptable subject to conditions and objections did not identify material reasons for refusal.
- Objectors raised concerns about parking, traffic, lighting, noise, drainage, loss of green space and residential amenity.
- The committee voted to continue the application for further parking and transport information, with possible delegated refusal if it is not provided.
