(In accordance with the Council’s Constitution and the Members’ Code of Conduct, Councillors Samantha Deakin, Rachel Madden, David Martin and Jason Zadrozny had previously declared Non-Registrable interests in respect of this application. Their interests were such that they stayed in the meeting and took part in the discussion and voting thereon.)

In accordance with the Council’s Policy for dealing with late matters in relation

to planning applications, (Minute No. D4.17, 1993/94 refers), officers

proceeded to give a verbal report as to additional comments received in

relation to the application as follows:-

The Rights of Way team at Nottinghamshire County Council had submitted a holding objection, but had now confirmed that development should not commence until a separate application had been submitted and agreed, to deal with the diverting or stopping up of a public right of way.

Informatives are proposed to advise in relation to the footpath. There appeared to be a number of alternatives which would have to be agreed separately under the Planning Act or Highways Act; this would not stop this planning application from being determined but may preclude a commencement on site.

Councillor John Wilmott, as Ward Member, took the opportunity to address the Committee in respect of this matter. As per the agreed process, Members were then offered the opportunity to clarify any points raised during

the submission as required.

It was moved and seconded that conditional consent be granted as per

officer’s recommendation.
