22/07/2021 - 21/00401/FP LAND AT IVEL COURT, RADBURN WAY, LETCHWORTH GARDEN CITY, HERTFORDSHIRE

Councillor David Levett declared an interest in that he was a member of the Cabinet which had made the decision to sell the land concerned by this application. As such he would take no part in the debate or vote on this item and would leave the meeting.

 

Councillor Tony Hunter declared an interest in that he was a member of the Cabinet which had made the decision to sell the land concerned by this application. As such he would take no part in the debate or vote on this item and would leave the meeting.

 

The Legal Regulatory Team Manager confirmed that as Councillor Levett and Councillor Hunter had made a decision as members of the executive to sell this land conditional on gaining planning permission they have fettered their discretion to take part in the decision making process for planning permission.  To the reasonable person, if they were to take part in the decision for planning permission at PCC it would be seen as predetermination.

 

RESOLVED: That application 21/00401/FP be GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions and reasons outlined in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager and the following additional condition:

 

“Prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted, full details of internal cycle and mobility vehicle storage and EV charging, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such works shall thereafter be carried out in completed accordance with the approved details or particulars, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.”
