The Development Management Manager updated the Committee that the applicant had recently changed their agent and the agent sent information to the Planning Officer shortly before the meeting which tried to address some of the refusal issues.  The Committee were informed that the officer had not had a chance to look at the proposals in detail.

 

The Committee were informed they could either defer the application to a future meeting to allow officers time to assess the new information submitted or the Committee could hear the application with the previous information and the recommendation to refuse.

 

The Committee were assured that if deferred the application would go before Committee as soon as possible.

 

RESOLVED that the application be deferred to allow officers to assess the recently submitted information and bring the application back to committee at a future date.

 

Voting: Unanimous
