Report by Planning Development Manager

Application for determination of the conditions to which a planning permission is to be subject (Permission numbers DD1 and DD2).

It is RECOMMENDED:

a)    That in the absence of there being a position in law to refuse the application to determine the conditions to which planning permission numbers DD1 and DD2 are to be subject despite the significant effect identified through the loss of irreplaceable and priority habitats, refer the application to the Secretary of State for their consideration as to whether to call the application in for their own determination;

b)    Should the Secretary of State decline to call the application in for their own determination, authorise the Director of Economy and Place to determine the conditions to which planning permissions DD1 and DD2 are to be subject including those set out in Annex 4 but without the condition restricting development in the areas of irreplaceable and priority habitats.
