The Corporate Director for Delivery Services submitted the above application for consideration.

The Committee were advised that an additional condition had been applied, as follows:

“A scheme for the provision of bat boxes on site to mitigate for the potential loss of bat roosts shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority before development commences. The bat boxes shall be installed before the first occupation of the building.”

On a motion proposed by Councillor K Hodson and seconded by Councillor D Elderton it was proposed that the application be refused for the following reasons:

“ The Development to the next property would be visually overbearing, dominant and an overdevelopment. The application is not of a scale that related well to surrounding property in particular with respect to the existing densities and form of development. It would result in a detrimental change in the character of the area. “

The Motion was put and lost ( 4:8)

On a motion by Councillor S Foulkes and seconded by Councillor G Davies it was:
