Variation of Condition 15 of planning permission ref. 14/00992/VAR to amend the landscaping and hardstanding to provide additional car parking on the decked car park

The committee received the report of the Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site and details of the responses to the application. 

The Development Management Team Leader (PB) explained that the application proposed a variation of Condition 15 of planning permission ref. 14/00992/VAR to amend the landscaping and hardstanding at the development to provide additional car parking on the decked car park for the use of residents of the development.

The Chair invited David Howells, the applicant, to speak for the application.  Mr Howells explained the consultation which had been carried out in response to the committee’s concerns expressed on 3 October 2018.  The revised planting scheme was intended to soften the views of the car park and provide extra screening for residents.

The Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
