[To consider the planning application]

The Committee considered a report in relation to planning application 16/01024/FUL, redevelopment of former bus depot for housing and retail.

Andy Carter, Senior Planning Officer, detailed amendments to the officer recommendations proposed in paragraph 11.1 of the report.

Mark Jackson addressed the Committee in support of the application.

Following a request from Cllr Louise Miles, the Senior Planning Officer undertook to provide her with attendance and feedback figures from a recent community consultation event held by the developer.

The Committee expressed concerns regarding the preservation of the site’s heritage, with Members suggesting that the stone sign be preserved on site and that street names reference its transport heritage.  The Vice-Chair asked that the developer take note of and consider the ideas put forward.
