It was noted that Councillor P. Hughes is an Executive Board Member and not a Member of the Planning Committee as stated within the report.

In line with the Planning Committee Protocol, one of the objectors who had requested to speak on this application opted to make representation at today’s meeting rather than at the meeting following the site visit.  The Committee thereupon proceeded to receive a representation objecting to the proposed development, which re-iterated some of the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s written report and included the following:-

·       Concerns about surface water and flooding in the area.

·       Existing issues and removing natural drainage likely to increase issues which already exist along High St and cause a flooding problem for residents of the street.

·       That the application does not make any reference to part of the development being built on a flood plain.

[Note: the objector provided Planning Officers with video evidence of surface water flow in the area during heavy rain fall.]

The applicants’ agent opted to make representations at the meeting of the site visit.
