Members were reminded as to the Committee’s decision at the previous meeting of the Planning Committee held on 4th December 2017, as detailed on page 1 of the Supplementary Agenda Pack; and that any substantial amendments or changes to the application would be brought back to Planning Committee Members for consideration. Officers highlighted that the amendments to the Parameters Plan were confined wholly to the part of the site which lay within Stratford upon Avon District and proposed no modifications to that part of the development within Bromsgrove District. Therefore it would be for Stratford District Council to undertake any consultation / notification of interested parties. It was noted that paragraph one of The Amendments - Parameters Plan 5372 – 205 L, as detailed on page 2 of the Supplementary Agenda Pack, should read “to” 30 metres and not “of” 30 metres. Members’ attention was drawn to the Officer Appraisal, as detailed on page 3 of the Supplementary Agenda Pack. The Committee then considered the amendments proposed in respect of that part of the application that fell within Stratford upon Avon District. Members expressed their concerns as to the proposed Steering Group, as referred to on page 2 of the published Update Report; and therefore requested that further clarification was sought; as to the membership and role of the proposed Steering Group, how decisions would be made and confirmation of the area that would be covered by the Steering Group. Members also requested that the Annual HGV Surveys, as referred to on page 1 of the published Update Report, also be provided to future Bromsgrove District Council, Planning Committee meetings (with the first submission twelve months from first occupation). RESOLVED that 1) no objection be raised to the amendments proposed in respect of that part of the application that fell with Stratford upon Avon District; 2) Officers be tasked to seek clarification on the proposed Steering Group, as detailed in the preamble above; and 3) it be noted that, the Annual HGV Surveys be submitted to future meetings of the Planning Committee, as detailed in the preamble above.
