Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies for absence.

There were no declarations of interest.

The Chair, Councillor Kieron Green, welcomed everyone to the meeting.  He explained that no person present would be entitled to speak other than the Members of the Local Review Body (LRB) and Mr Jackson, who would provide procedural advice if required.

 

He referred to the previous meeting held on 25 November 2024 when it was agreed to request an up-to-date Traffic Survey be carried out by the Applicant.  This was subsequently carried out over an 8 day period between 23 January to 30 January 2025 and a copy of this was contained within the Agenda pack for today’s meeting.

 

Further information was also requested the Roads Officer and an amended condition 2 from the Planning Officer, if deemed appropriate.  This information was also contained within the Agenda pack for today’s meeting.

 

The Chair advised that his first task would be to establish if the Members of the LRB felt that they had sufficient information before them to come to a decision on the Review and it was confirmed by all Members that they had sufficient information before them.

 

Councillor Wallace advised that he had noted that the updated Traffic Survey from the Applicant and the recommended amended Condition 2 from the Planning Officer supported the reduction in visibility splay.

 

Councillor Hampsey also noted this position.

 

Councillor Green referred to the advice from the Roads Officer that as the new survey showed average speeds to be 30 mph or less, an amended visibility splay was appropriate and therefore he saw no reason for the LRB not to agree to accept the amended Condition 2.

 

This view was supported by the other Members of the LRB.
