The committee received the report of the Interim Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site.

The Planning Officer introduced the report advising that the application would enhance the park entrances at St Albans Road and Codicote Drive, resurface existing footpaths.  In addition, the application would involve the refurbishment of the existing play area and erection of a new natural timber sculpture in the Nature Reserve.

Attention was drawn to the update sheet which noted the removal of Condition 3 shown in the officer’s report.

The Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
