Proposed extension and alterations to provide further changing area, toilets and showers for teams.

Members were told that the application was before the Planning Committee as the application site was owned by Tendring District Council.

The Committee heard that the proposed development was not considered by Officers to be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and would not result in any significant impact to 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 (OA) in respect of the application.

An Officer Update Sheet had been circulated to Members before the meeting which was as follows:-

“Planning Application - Proposed extension and alterations to provide changing area toilets and showers for female and youth teams.

·         Revised Drawing Nos. 5000 25 2 Rev B. & 5000 25 3 Rev B received 14.03.25. Condition 2 to be revised in the event of approval.”

It was moved by Councillor Goldman, seconded by Councillor Wiggins and:-

Unanimously RESOLVED that:-

1)    the Head of Planning and Building Control be authorised to grant planning permission subject to the conditions as stated at paragraph 10.2 of the Officer report (A.4) and subject to the variation of Condition 2 (as detailed in the Update Sheet), or varied as is necessary to ensure the wording is enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects, including updates, so long as the principle of the conditions as referenced is retained; and

2)    the sending of any informative notes to the applicant as may be deemed necessary.
