Officer report

Local concerns

The community council, ward councillor and two third parties raised concerns about highway access, traffic, existing business and local water supplies.

“The Community Council has serious concerns that the introduction of additional properties would place further demand on local water resources, potentially affecting both the quantity and reliability of water supplies for existing residents. For the reasons outlined above, the Community Council strongly objects to this planning application and requests that the Planning Authority give these concerns due consideration when determining the application.”

Who spoke

The local representative spoke before leaving, a community council councillor spoke against the application, and the agent spoke for it.

“The Committee were satisfied with the response and agreed that the provision of a passing bay, as outlined in Condition 8, would be necessary due to existing premises already utilising the U2406. Members further requested that Condition 8 be strengthened to ensure that any passing bays are constructed to an adoptable standard.”
