Minutes:

The Board considered a report of the Chief Executive, a copy of which, marked ‘Agenda Item 9’ is filed with these minutes.

 

The local member Mr. M. Wyatt CC stated that he originally had concerns about parking at the site but these had now been alleviated to a large extent. Mr Wyatt’s main concern was the proposal to introduce a wild flower area on the corner of Cropston Drive and Smith Crescent, as he felt this would be detrimental to the area and could cause anti-social behaviour. Mr Wyatt proposed that trees be planted instead.

 

Board members supported Mr Wyatt’s proposal and stated that if trees could not be planted then the grass should be left as existing.

 

In response, the Chief Executive confirmed that it would be possible to implement Mr Wyatt’s proposal through the discharge of proposed planning condition no. 13.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)        That the application be permitted subject to the conditions nos. 1-17 as set out in the appendix to the report;

 

(b)        That the Board confirms (as required by the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) that in dealing with the application the County Council worked in a positive and proactive manner, taking account of paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
