The Case Officer, Ben Elvin, referred to the Addendum and Members confirmed that additional reading time was not required for the additional submissions circulated. He read out a representation from Mr Mark Hargraves which was received after the addendum was circulated, and made reference to the context which included the Neighbourhood Plan, the Judicial Review and the Council’s lack of a 5 year housing land supply.
Having listened to, and questioned, the speakers at length, a proposal to refuse planning permission was moved for reasons relating to conflict with various CS and NP policies, and the NPPF, but failed to find a seconder.
During the subsequent debate, both Ben Elvin and the Corporate Manager – Growth and Sustainable Planning, Philip Isbell, clarified various aspects before the Officer recommendation was moved and after further debate was carried on being put to the vote.
