Reserved matters application following outline approval 16/02084/OUT - Alteration of one dwelling and erection of 5 no. bungalows.

Councillor Fowler had earlier declared a non-pecuniary interest in relation to Planning Application 17/01150/DETAIL by virtue of the fact that she was a resident of Mayes Lane, a Trustee of the Harwich Society and that some of the objectors were known to her. Councillor Fowler withdrew from the meeting, whilst the Committee considered the application and reached its decision.

Members recalled that outline planning permission for the alteration of one dwelling and the erection of five dwellings was approved by the Committee on 29 March 2017 (16/02084/OUT). The application now before them was a reserved matters application which Members had requested to review following the approval of the outline application.

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 (ML) in respect of the application.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor McWilliams, seconded by Councillor Bennison and unanimously RESOLVED (a)that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to grant planning permission for the development, subject to the following conditions:

1.     3 Year Time limit;

2.     Approved Plans; and

3.     Submission of Construction Method Statement.

(b) that the following informative be sent to the applicant:

·        Preference to connect to mains drainage.
