The application was refused contrary to officer recommendation - Following the vote to refuse the application, the Specialist Services Lead (Head of Planning Services) invoked the cooling off period in accordance with the Council’s published constitution, which states the following:

 

·Where the Planning Committee indicates that it is minded not to accepted the officers’ recommendations, the application be deferred to the next Planning Committee where so requested by the Specialist Service Lead.

 

Therefore the application would be brought back to the next available meeting for further consideration.

 

The cooling off period was invoked to enable the Head of Planning Services to report back to the committee on the sustainability of the proposed decision, its impact on policy and any conditions that the committee may wish to impose. The Specialist Services Lead will also be mindful of the extent to which the District Council is at significant risk of having a cost award made against it in the event of an appeal being lodged.
