That subject to the expiry of the newspaper advertisement and no material new issues being raised, the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission subject to the conditions set out in the report, and the additional condition set out in the urgent update report, with the amendment of condition 10 (Landscaping) as follows:
No development shall take place above slab level until a landscape scheme designed in accordance with the principles of the Council's landscape character guidance has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall show all existing trees, hedges and blocks of landscaping on, and immediately adjacent to, the site and indicate whether they are to be retained or removed. It shall include a planting specification, a programme of implementation and a 5 year management plan. The hedgerows marked for retention on the landscape scheme, which shall include the hedge at the front of the site, shall be retained in perpetuity subject to written consent from the Local Planning Authority should any changes be requested.
Reason: In the interests of visual amenity and landscape impact.
