Stabilisation and remediation measures for the cliff slope.

Councillor Bennison had earlier declared an interest in Planning Application 18/00320/FUL insofar as she was a resident of Holland-on-Sea. Councillor Bennison had confirmed that she was not pre-determined.

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

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:

(1)   a plan showing priority areas 3 and 4; and

(2)   additional information provided by the Applicant in relation to fencing and Beach Huts.

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

1. Standard 3 year time limit for commencement;

2. Accordance with approved plans;

3. Phase 2 surveys for reptiles and terrestrial invertebrates prior to commencement of development within each of the phased priority areas;

4. Secure recommendations of the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal;

5. Construction Management Plan; and

6. Implementation of soft landscaping.
