Decision contrary to Officer Recommendation.

In considering the application within the context of the policies of the recently adopted Local Plan Strategy read as a whole and all other material considerations, Members of the Planning Committee considered there to be greater impacts arising from the HGV traffic impact and intensity of use.

In the exercise of its statutory discretion to determine planning applications in accord with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise the Planning Committee weighed all the material considerations of this case in the decision making balance and reached a planning judgement that weighed in favour of refusal.

In accordance with the Members’ Code of Conduct Councillor Windress declared a personal non pecuniary but not prejudicial interest.
