He added that the Highway Network Manager had not raised any objections to the site being accessed from Coquet Avenue, and that he had accepted this development incorporated an appropriate level of on-site parking. The statement had concluded by stating that it had been demonstrated that the residual cumulative impacts on the road network resulting from the approval of the proposed development would not be severe and therefore the development was acceptable in highway terms in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

Members of the Committee asked questions of officers and made comments. In doing so the Committee gave particular consideration to:

a)    the size, quality and design of the proposed accommodation units; and

b)    whether Adult Social Care had been consulted about the development and what facilities were available for overnight care staff.
