Proposed replacement gate and fence.

Minutes:

This application was before the Planning Committee as Tendring District Council are the landowners of the application site.

This proposal resulted in the replacement of the fencing and gates along the perimeter of the lake, with the existing fencing and gates in a poor state of repair.

The work resulted in a minor enhancement to the character and appearance of the area and had also resulted in a neutral impact to existing neighbouring amenities.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval.

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Planning Officer (MP) in respect of the application.

Matters raised by Members of the Committee:-	Officer’s response thereto:-
What is the Duty of Care implications for this site? I.e. Life rings.	This is not a material planning consideration for the Committee to consider.
