Planning committee

Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the replacement would improve education facilities, sustainability and townscape without unacceptable impacts.
- Residents raised concerns about scale, neighbour amenity, traffic, noise, construction, trees, heritage and consultation.
- The committee voted to grant permission subject to conditions, amended conditions and a Section 106 agreement.
