Decisions:

The Committee considered a report by the Head of Place (circulated previously).

 

Molly Leonard (agent) addressed the Committee.

 

RESOLVED that it being 1.00 p.m. that the meeting continue in order for the remaining business to be transacted.

 

Councillor Knight (in his capacity as Ward Member) addressed the Committee.

 

In response to questions, the Lead Planning Officer (JW) advised that the change of the approved timber cladding to a composite compressed fibre cladding material for the elevations was considered to be more appropriate for a modern design building.  The composite material would visually look like timber and would have a softening impact.  Concerns had been raised regarding the timber claddings ability to stand up to weather erosion.

           

RESOLVED (10 for, 1 abstained, 1 against) that the application be APPROVED as recommended by the Head of Place.
