Construction of a three to five-storey building plus basement for use as a care home (Use Class C2) with up to 81 bedrooms and associated communal spaces and services, together with associated car and cycle parking, refuse storage and ancillary works.

The Committee received a presentation on the application from the Principal Planning Officer.

Description:

Construction of a three to five-storey building plus basement for use as a care home (Use Class C2) with up to 81 bedrooms and associated communal spaces and services, together with associated car and cycle parking, refuse storage and ancillary works.

Officer Recommendation:

Approval, subject to conditions, informatives and s106 legal agreement

Decision:

Following consideration, the Committee voted (3 for, 6 against, and the Chair not voting), against the Officer recommendation, and the motion was lost.

Councillor Neil Dallen proposed that the application be deferred to a future meeting of the Committee for the following reason:

In order to allow time to request information from the applicant with respect to the likely use of the accommodation, and therefore the number of staff and visitors, so that a realistic car park requirement could be identified and met.

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Bernie Muir.

The Committee voted (5 for, 3 against, 1 abstaining, and the Chair not voting) to DEFER the application.
