Is Key Decision?: No
Is Callable In?: No
Purpose:
Content: Variation of Condition 7 and the associated removal of Conditions 15 and 16 attached to Planning Permission 21/02894/AMCON dated 1 June 2022. DECISION - had the Local Planning Authority had the opportunity to determine the application prior to the lodging of a planning appeal against non-determination, the recommendation would have been to REFUSE. Authority has been delegated to relevant Officers, along with the Chairman of Planning Committee and the Ward Councillor to detail the reasons for refusal. A primary reason for the REFUSAL is that the Committee agreed that unsatisfactory information and data specific to the site within Ancells Farm area was submitted by the applicant to justify that the original planning conditions were not necessary.
