Public Speaking

 

Pursuant to Part 4, Section 7 of the Council’s Constitution in relation to public

rights of participation in planning applications, the Chairman allowed the

following to give a 5 minute presentation:

 

·           Cllr. Nick Chapman – Ward Member

·           Tony Withers – Objector

·           Richard Cooke – Agent

 

DECISION

 

THAT THE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE APPLICATION 22/1049/FUL BE OVERTURNED AND THAT THE APPLICATION BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON:

 

·           The applicant has not demonstrated that that there is no longer any potential for the continued use of the land for car parking and that the loss of parking will not aggravate an existing shortfall of spaces in the vicinity. The applicant has also not demonstrated that adequate and convenient replacement car parking spaces will be provided elsewhere in the vicinity. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy TN2 of the Glenfield Neighbourhood Plan (2023).

 

The Chairman adjourned the meeting at 5:43pm for Members to take a short comfort break.

 

The Chairman reconvened the meeting at 5:46pm.
