The Committee refused the application for the reasons set out in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director.

The Committee refused the application for the reasons set out in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director, with two small amendments: in Reason 1, the word ‘approved’ should be replaced with the word ‘existing’ so that Reason 1 states as follows, ‘The scheme proposes redevelopment of the entire site and the floor area is proposed to be nearly 11 times bigger than that originally existing under S/0509/09/F…..’ and in Reason 4 (fourth sentence) the word ‘design should be included so that it states, ‘However, it is considered that due to its design, location, size and scale, the development will have a significantly adverse impact on the surrounding landscape.’

The Committee approved the application subject to the Conditions set out in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and New Communities).
