Proposal: Removal of Condition 12 (Connection of New Footpath) Of Previously Approved Permission 20/0868 (Erection of 2no. Dwellings) (Revised Application) The Planning Officer submitted the report on the application, and advised that following the publication of the report, the Highway Authority had responded to the consultation on the application confirming that it did not object to the proposal. Slides were displayed on screen showing: location site plan; and, photographs of the site, an explanation of which was provided for the benefit of Members.
The Planning Officer recommended that the application be approved subject to the imposition of conditions detailed in the report.
The Committee then gave consideration to the application.
In response to Members' questions Officers confirmed:
- during the application process to develop the adjacent housing, the then applicant had deemed that the service infrastructure installed under the verge prohibited the creation of a footpath as the necessary drainage measures were not able to be provided; - the physical inability to provide the footpath as conditioning in approved permission 20/0868 along with the likelihood of development on the other side of the road which would incorporate a footpath had led to the recommendation to approve the current application; - an application for development at the Harker Industrial Estate development had been submitted and included the provision of a footpath that would extend all the way to the A7. The matter was being considered by the Highway Authority.
RESOLVED – The application was approved with conditions.
