The written views of Councillor Phillips were read out to Members in his absence.

The written views of Councillor Phillips were read out to Members in his absence.

 

During the discussion, Members advised that an email had been received by them from a previous owner of the property, advising that bats could be present in the existing roof space.  As this was new information, Officers clarified that this could not be the subject of a Condition and that the applicant would need to undertake a Phase 1 bat survey, to clarify whether bats are present. 

 

The Officer recommendation to grant conditional permission was put to the Committee by the Chairman with the amendment that Members be minded to grant conditional permission subject to the submission of a satisfactory bat survey report with the decision to grant conditional permission delegated to Officers. That if a satisfactory Bat Survey was not submitted to the Council then the application be brought back to a future Committee for determination and this was agreed at a vote.

 

RESOLVED:

 

Defer - Minded to grant conditional permission subject to the submission of a satisfactory bat survey report. Decision delegated to the Director of Services. If a satisfactory Bat Survey was not submitted to the Council then the application be brought back to a future Committee for determination.
