Planning Committee - Tuesday, 5th November, 2024 7.00 pm

The meeting decided on four planning applications, granting permission for all of them. Three of the applications were for new residential developments, and in each case the Committee decided that a Section 106 agreement was needed in order to provide funds for the council to mitigate the impact of the developments, such as by improving local infrastructure or the provision of affordable housing. One application was for new sports facilities, and this was approved without the need for a Section 106 agreement.
