    Councillors heard representations from the objectors, and asked questions of them. 

     

    At 7.30pm Councillor Gettleson arrived and declared that he would speak as a ward councillor on the current item. He would split his time with Councillor Claire Hickson, who also wished to speak on this item. Councillor Gettleson then sat with the audience.

    RESOLVED:

     

    That planning application 11-AP-3808be refused, on the grounds that:

     

    Owing to the pressure on commercially viable retail space, the proposed A2 'Financial and professional' use would not amount to a sustainable form of

    development, and would be to the detriment of creating a thriving retail area

    which would better serve the needs of the local population. As such the proposal is considered to be contrary to the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to encourage sustainable development which meets the needs of local communities.”

     

     

    At 8.50pm the meeting adjourned for a comfort break, and reconvened at 8.55pm. At this point, Councillor Mark Gettleson rejoined the meeting and confirmed he was a voting member of the committee.
