(2) That applications RB2014/1591, RB2014/1629 and RB2014/1666 be granted for the reasons adopted by Members at the meeting and subject to the relevant conditions listed in the submitted report.

(3) That application RB2014/1511 be refused for the reason set out in the submitted report.

(4) That the Planning Board declares that it is not in favour of application RB2014/1513 and the reason for refusal, as contained in the report now submitted, shall be duly amended to read as follows:-

The site is allocated as Urban Greenspace on the adopted Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and the loss of the Urban Greenspace, which is not clearly surplus to requirements and is in an area where existing private garden areas are limited in size, would be detrimental to the local community and the applicant has failed to demonstrate a scheme whereby equivalent or improved provision of Urban Greenspace would be provided within the locality. As such, the proposals are contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS22 ‘Green Spaces’ and to ‘saved’ UDP Policy ENV5.1 ‘Allocated Urban Greenspace’, as well as the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
