    It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the application be approved for the reasons set out in the case officer’s report and subject to the conditions set out on pages 11 to 16 of the case officer’s report and pages 4 and 5 of the additional items report (as amended above) and subject to prior completion of a Section 106 agreement to secure the requirements specified in paragraph 10.  Provided that if the Section 106 Agreement has not been completed within 6 weeks of the date of this meeting and the Service Manager for Development Management and Implementation, after consultation with the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Development Control Committee, considers there are no extenuating circumstances which would justify an extension (or further extension) of time, the Service Manager for Development Management and Implementation be authorised to refuse the application on the basis that the necessary infrastructure or community contributions essential to make the development acceptable have not been forthcoming.
