Officer report
Members discussed more time
Members considered whether to defer the application after information requests had received no response, with differing views on another opportunity.
“The Chair advised that this was up to the members to decide if they wished to propose to defer the application. He advised members that information has been requested on three separate occasions from the agent which has not been forthcoming.”
“The HLP stated that in advance of the work in which planning has been doing and close to adopting the new delegated list, refusals will be able to issue when we request information on at least two occasions with the four-week and two-week timeframe. On this application we have sought information on three occasions in April, August and September, with no acknowledgment from the agent confirming that the email has been received or no contact with the applicant.”
Minutes
The committee deferred it
The application was deferred for one month to allow additional information to be submitted.
“Councillor Clarke said that he could understand where the HLP was coming from regarding the request for information. The member advised that this was a 2024 planning application and there were older ones in the system and proposed deferring the application for one month to allow for the submission of the information requested and if nothing has been received in that timeframe, then proceed with officer’s recommendation for refusal.”
“Resolved That planning application LA09/2024/0916/F be deferred for one month for submission of additional information.”
