Late Items

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:-

Member were advised that should the application be determined, it would be referred to the Secretary of State, as per the prescribed process due to the location of the site being located within Greenbelt.

At this point in the proceedings, it was moved and seconded that the application be heard and determined accordingly.

The Applicant disagreed with parking shortfall stated but was happy to make contributions but needed the figures to be accurate and evidence based.

The Applicant was concerned about the time taken in relation to this application.  It was hoped that the matter would be determined with delegated powers to officers to resolve the highways matters accordingly.
