Issue - meetings

Removal of existing under croft garages and conversion of these spaces into a two bedroom residential unit and a community liaison office.

Councillor Fowler had earlier declared an interest in this Application insofar as she was a local Ward Member.

It was reported that this application had been referred to the Planning Committee as Tendring District Council was the owner and the applicant.

Members were informed that this application was an amendment to a previous application under reference 16/01946/FUL which had been approved by the Committee on 31 January 2017.

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 Head of Planning (CB) in respect of the application.

An update sheet was circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting with details of amended plans submitted by the Agent on 28 July 2017.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Baker, seconded by Councillor McWilliams and RESOLVED that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to grant planning permission for the development, subject to planning conditions as set out below –

1. Time Limit

2. Approved Plans

3. Opening Hours of Community Liaison Office

4. Restrict Construction Working Hours
