RESOLVED that planning permission be GRANTED in accordance with the recommendation set out in the Officer’s report and with the following additional condition requested by the Committee:

·       Prior to the first use of any of balcony areas hereby approved, an external lighting plan detailing all fixed external lighting to be placed on the roof, or on structures on the roof, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The external lighting plan shall include details of the size and location of each external light; together with details of appropriate cowling or positioning to ensure light emitted from them is focussed downwards, and that light spill is not directed towards other residential properties, and not upwards. The plan should also indicate any safety lighting. Thereafter, no external lighting shall be installed on the roof area other than in full accordance with the approved external lighting plan.  

Reason: To minimise potential light pollution and to protect the amenity of surrounding residents in accordance with Policies CS38 and CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (October 2012).
