1.    The Planning Manager introduced the application to the committee.

Answers to Committee Member Questions

2.    Councillor Theobald was informed that the mature Elm tree at the front of the property had been removed as it had Elm disease. The arboricultural officer accepts the scheme and new trees will be planted by condition.

3.    Councillor Janio was informed that the informatives relate to this application and not the previous one. The previous permission requested that the trees be retained, however, the ones removed were diseased. New trees are to form part of the landscaping by condition. Condition 3 relates to landscaping and is to be agreed.

Debate

4.    Councillor Theobald was not happy with the loss of trees and the effect on the neighbouring properties with loss of privacy. The application will set a precedent and will be harmful to the area.

5.    Councillor Moonan noted that planning permission already existed, and they had no problem with the application. The councillor supported the application.

Vote

6.    A vote was taken, and by 6 to 2, the committee agreed to grant planning permission.

7.    RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives in the report.
