PERMISSION

Description of application – The construction of a new warehouse to the side of the existing building for storage (Class B8).

Correspondence from the applicant’s consultants in objection to the Environment Agency’s comments concerning flood risk, had been received and circulated to Members.

Members were advised that should they be minded to permit the application, it may be appropriate for conditions to be dealt with under delegated powers.

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED with appropriate planning conditions to be agreed under delegated powers (to include a condition relating to permitted development/use).

Members resolved to grant planning permission against officer recommendation.  Members noted the objections raised by the Environment Agency but considered that the business benefits of the development would outweigh the potential impact of the proposal on the functional floodplain/Flood Zone 3, subject to suitable conditions/mitigations (to be agreed under delegated powers).
