Agenda item

There were no technical questions.

Members of the public then addressed the Committee as detailed above.

The local member, Cllr Chuck Berry, spoke in support of the application.

INFORMATIVES:-

WP6 ALTERATIONS TO APPROVED PLANS

1. Any alterations to the approved plans, brought about by compliance with Building

Regulations or any other reason must first be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority before commencement of work.

WP13 PUBLIC SEWERS

2. The applicant should note that the grant of planning permission does not include any separate permission which may be needed to erect a structure in the vicinity of a public sewer. Such permission should be sought direct from Thames Water Utilities Ltd / Wessex Water Services Ltd. Buildings are not normally allowed within 3.0 metres of a Public Sewer although this may vary depending on the size, depth, strategic importance, available access and the ground conditions appertaining to the sewer in question.

WP18 PERMISSION NOT AUTHORISING WORK ON LAND OUTSIDE THE APPLICANT'S CONTROL & PARTY WALL ACT

3. The applicant is requested to note that this permission does not affect any private property rights and therefore does not authorise the carrying out of any work on land outside their control. If such works are required it will be necessary for the applicant to obtain the landowners consent before such works commence. If you intend carrying out works in the vicinity of the site boundary, you are also advised that it may be expedient to seek your own advice with regard to the requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996.

4. The applicant is advised that the Permission granted does not relate to the Shipping

Containers located on site at the time of determination and that the matter has been referred to the Council’s Enforcement Team for Investigation.
