The Committee received a presentation by the Case Officer which set out the main issues in respect of the application.  She introduced the report which recommended that the planning application be approved subject to conditions. She also drew Members’ attention to the late items from which it was noted that the application had been revised thus reducing the number of dwellings from 285 to 263.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions after which the Committee received statements from members of the public as detailed above, expressing their views regarding the planning application.

 

After discussion,

 

Resolved:

 

To grant planning permission for the following reason:-

 

The reserved matters of appearance, layout, scale and landscaping accords with the outline permission granted under 08/02438OUT and would not result in the detrimental impact on any residential amenities, landscape, ecology or highways.  The proposal thus accords with Policies C2, C3 and NE15 of the adopted North Wiltshire Local Plan 2011.
