The Committee considered the report and it was RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

·         Impact upon residential amenity through the reduction in on site car parking provision.

The further consideration of the application was suspended following the Assistant Director of Planning’s decision as AD to exercise the powers available to them (under the Planning Committee Procedure Rules) to bring a further report to the Committee giving detailed planning and legal advice on the reason the Committee wished to refuse the planning application.

The report before the Committee detailed an application to retain 22 apartments in the Verve Apartments.

The Committee considered the report and RESOLVED to GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION subject to:

·         The completion of a Section 106 Agreement and conditions.

·         In addition to the single condition published in the report, there may be a need to include a further condition which cross referenced to the need to provide 60 car parking spaces which were secured via an earlier grant of planning permission.  The potential need for this condition was agreed by Members.
