Proposal: Erection of new dwelling

Officers gave an overview of the history of the application, including the initial clerical error when the decision notice was issued, its consideration by an Inspector and their subsequent decision to grant permission. Members also noted the difference in size of the proposed scheme before them and what had been submitted previously.

 

Steve Tyson, agent, was invited remotely into the meeting and spoke in favour of the application.
