   (Enclosure)

The minutes of the meeting held on 26 April 2011 were approved as a correct record of decisions taken. 

Decision:-

             That in accordance with Council procedure rule 23.1, rule 16.3(i) be suspended only for voting on the “part heard” applications in the next minute (NB1, NB4, KJC1, PWM2, FF1 and JJ1). 

The Chairman proposed, and it was duly seconded, that standing orders be suspended for the “part heard” applications on the current list for decision, in view of the fact that half of the members of the committee would be unable to vote, as they had not heard all the debate on the applications, and in the interests of openness in the voting process.  On being put to the vote the proposition was agreed.

A       To consider applications received for the grant of planning         permission – reports prepared by the Case Officer.

                                                          (Enclosure)

B       Analysis of Environmental Impacts in relation to the proposed development at 4 St Mary’s Place, Stamford – applications NB1 and NB2 on the above list at ‘A’ above.

It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the application be deferred for determination by the Acting Lead Professional, after consultation with the Chairman or Vice Chairman, subject to the summary of reasons referred to in the case officers report and subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement, in relation to contributions towards highway improvements, and to appropriate conditions, as listed in the report and in the late report, but in this case as the agreement has not been concluded prior to the committee, a period not exceeding six weeks post the date of the committee shall be set for the completion (including signing) of the agreement.  In the event that the agreement has not been concluded and where in the opinion of the Acting Lead Professional, acting in consultation with the Chairman, there are no extenuating circumstances which would justify a further extension of time, the related planning application shall be refused on the basis that the necessary infrastructure or community contributions essential to make what would otherwise be unacceptable developments acceptable have not been forthcoming.
