Issue - meetings

Erection of 67 dwellings (amended description).

Councillor White had earlier declared an interest in Planning Application 18/00194/FUL insofar as his daughter owned an existing property on Tokely Road. Councillor White had confirmed that he was not pre-determined.

The Committee was informed that under Planning Application 14/01371/OUT this site had been granted planning permission at appeal for 49 dwelling houses, in conjunction with areas of open space.

The Committee was further informed that the current proposal sought to increase the site density to provide 67 dwelling houses, without significant reduction in the extent of open space provision.

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 Manager (GN) in respect of the application.

An update sheet was circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting with details of a consultation response received from Essex County Council’s SUDS Team.

Parish Councillor Paula Bland, representing Frating Parish Council, spoke against the application.

Councillor Nicholls, a local Ward Member, spoke against the application.

Marcus Nelson, the agent on behalf of the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

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