The Chairman and Councillors Adkinson, Bartlett, Boughton, Round and Wilby stated that they had been lobbied.

 

The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development.

 

The Principal Planning Officer said that KCC Flood and Water Management had now commented on the information provided for the proposed drainage strategy, which detailed the use of Permavoids under the access road and hard surfaces, and considered it to be acceptable in principle subject to the attachment of conditions requiring:

 

·  The submission of a sustainable surface water drainage scheme for the site;

·  The submission of an operation and maintenance manual for the proposed sustainable drainage scheme detailing how the scheme would be implemented and maintained; and

·  The submission of a Verification Report demonstrating that the surface water drainage system had been installed correctly and would be able to achieve objectives in dealing with surface water.

 

The recommendation remained unchanged subject to the deletion of condition 7 relating to surface water drainage and the attachment of the conditions relating to surface water drainage as recommended by KCC Flood and Water Management.

 

Mr Stroud addressed the meeting on behalf of the applicant.
