The Principal Planning Officer advised Members of the following updates:

1.         A late representation had been received from Ms Jackie McDonald proposing an amendment to the application to include a replacement unit within Phase 3 of the proposed development to replace the Coffee Mill unit. She advised that the Westmill Community Centre was not well attended by teenage groups and that Settle had advised, in community meetings regarding the development, that they would welcome and support additional youth services.

2.         The Lead Local Flood Authority had withdrawn its objection to this development following the submission of further information by the applicants Drainage Consultants. They were now recommending 6 conditions in total to be attached to the application if permission is granted. Three of these conditions related to Development A (Phases 1 and 2) and three related to Development B (Phase 3).

Therefore Part A of the recommendation, as set out in paragraph 6.1, would no longer be needed as the objection of the Flood Authority had been resolved and the recommendation would be subject to the submitted Unilateral Undertaking and the conditions set out in the report, in addition to the six conditions required by the Lead Local Flood Authority.    

The applicants had confirmed in writing that they are happy to accept the conditions requested by the Flood Authority.    

3.         In respect of the Play Area the applicant confirmed that, in response to concerns raised by the community, the application drawings had been updated from the original submission to include a Children’s Play Area.  

4.         The wording of Development B - Condition 3 should read exactly as Development A – Condition 4.
