It was proposed by Councillor Eileen Blamire and seconded by Councillor Helen Helme:

 

“That the County Council be advised that the City Council has no obection to the application subject to the conditions set out in the report.”

 

Upon being put to the vote, Members voted unanimously in favour of the proposition, whereupon the Chairman declared the proposal to be carried.

 

Resolved:

 

 That the City Council has no objection to the proposal, subject to the following:

 

  • Additional planting takes place along the northwest boundary where gaps in the existing boundary treatment exist in order to help screen the development. If this boundary is not under the control of the applicant, additional planting should take place within the site, adjacent to the boundary to ensure that the development is adequately screened for the lifetime of its operation.
  • Additional planting between the site and the nearby residential properties to help screen the development from residential properties should be mature and well established at the point of planting, it should provide sufficient natural screening with immediate effect.
  • Some enhancement to biodiversity is recommended. Other similar sites have included the requirement for a Habitat Management Plan.
  • Consideration given to hours/times of maintenance to ensure no detrimental impact on the adjacent properties.
