After the meeting of the Committee on 8 July 2020 at which members decided that they were minded to refuse the application, they were required to submit, within five working days, their reasons for refusal to the Interim Head of Development Management. These were listed in the case officer’s report together with officer comment thereon.
Members were advised that Officers did not feel the reasons provided were defendable in the event of an appeal should the application be refused. The officer recommendation remained to approve the application conditionally, noting advice received from Counsel that reasons provided by Members to refuse were not sustainable upon appeal.
Members noted the following concerns regarding the application:
· A recognition of the need for a masterplan
· Other proposed site applications would provide additional affordable housing along with S106 provision
A proposal was made to approve the application, which was seconded. As the Committee had been minded to refuse the application on 8 July 2020 and the cooling-off period had been invoked, a recorded vote was taken in accordance with the Council’s Constitution.
For: Councillors Adams, Bellamy, Bisnauthsing, Dilks, Exton, Reid, Jacky Smith and Judy Smith (8)
Against: Councillor Ian Selby (1)
Abstain: Councillors Milnes and Kaberry-Brown (2)
