Decisions:

A report was presented on an application for the construction of a new vehicular access and a pressure relief column associated with new waste water infrastructure on land opposite 107 - 119 Moor Road, Croston.

 

The report included the views of Chorley Borough Council, the Environment Agency, Lancashire County Council Highways Development Control, Lancashire County Council Specialist Advisor (Ecology), the Lead Local Flood Authority and details of 28 letters of representation received objecting to the application.

 

The Development Management Officer presented a PowerPoint presentation showing an aerial view of the site, and the nearest residential properties. The Committee was also shown an illustration of the site plan and photographs of the access roads to the development from various viewpoints.

 

The Officer reported orally that since the report had been finalised, a further representation had been received objecting to the application.  (Details set out in the Update Sheet at Item 4 of the agenda).

 

It was reported that at the time that the committee report was written, the applicant had verbally agreed to make a number of changes to the application to meet some of the objections from residents. A plan had subsequently been submitted to formalise these changes which include the reduction in width of the access to 5.5 metres and the removal of the proposed pavements along the site frontage.

 

To reflect the amended access layout plan it was reported that it was proposed to amend Conditions 2b, 7 and 9 to the proposed planning permission. Full details were set out in the Update Sheet at Item 4 of the agenda.

 

The Committee was reminded that as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, members of the public who had formally requested to speak at the committee meeting and who met the criteria, had been invited to give their views in the form of a written statement to be read out in full by officers at the meeting.  An officer therefore read out a written statement in behalf of a local resident who objected to the proposals. (Copy set out at Annex B to the Update Sheet).

 

Following debate and a question to the officers with regard to the proposed floodlighting it was:

 

Resolved:  That subject to the amendments to conditions 2, 7 and 9 as set out in the Update Sheet at Item 4 of the agenda, planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in the report to the committee.
