Minutes:

 

Sally Panayi, Planning Assistant presented the report to the Committee confirming that the application was for the provision of a single, temporary classroom while phase two of the development of the school is completed.

 

It was noted by the Committee that development under phase one had been completed in 2017.  It was confirmed that construction had started on phase two but that there had been delays which were made significantly worse due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.  Construction has now restarted but it was acknowledged that this now may take longer than originally planned due to social distancing regulations.

 

Debate

 

The Chair moved the meeting into debate and confirmed the following points;

 

  • No objections have been received in relation to the application.

 

  • There is adequate parking on site, including disabled parking spaces, electric charging points and bike racks.

 

  • Phase two of the construction is due for competition during the October 2020 school half term holidays; although due to issues relating to the pandemic and the resulting delays, this date may change.

 

The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Anne Parry and was seconded by Councillor John Cooke. A vote was held, and the Committee voted unanimously in favour of the recommendation to grant planning permission.
