Minutes: Officers reported on comments received from Worcestershire Regulatory Services and Worcestershire Highways Authority, as detailed in the published Update Report, copies of which were provided to Committee Members and the public gallery prior to commencement of the meeting.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. A. Lowe, the Applicant addressed the Committee. Councillor L. J. Turner, in whose Ward, the application site was located, also addressed the Committee.
The Committee then considered the Application, which had been recommended for refusal by Officers. Having considered all of the information provided in relation to the amended plans, and having noted the late representations from Worcestershire Regulatory Services and the Highways Authority in relation to noise and highway matters, Members, were of the view that, the need for childcare, the introduction of the Childcare Bill and new provisions for providing additional childcare facilities, provided for very special circumstances that outweighed any detriment to the openness of the green belt. Members were also of the view that the proposal would not be detrimental to the amenities of the adjoining residential property in terms of noise disturbance.
The Committee was therefore minded to grant Planning Permission, subject to standard conditions, to include timescale for permission, materials to be used and approved plans.
RESOLVED that planning permission be granted, subject to Conditions relating to:
1) Time Limit 2) Compliance with approved plans 3) External materials
and any other Conditions appropriate to the development by Officers. |
