(b)  the receipt of information requested to support the planning conditions, particularly condition 6 (Parking).  Authority was then delegated to the Service Lead – Infrastructure, Planning and Development to amend the conditions following the receipt of the information set out in (a);

(ii)  that the Panel delegated authority to the Service Lead to refuse planning permission in the event that this information is not provided within 1 month from the date of Planning Panel; and

(iii)  the  conditions set out within the report and any additional or amended conditions set out below:

 

Amended Condition

8. Management

Within 1 month from the date of this planning permission the applicants shall submit in writing to the Local Planning Authority a ‘Site Management Plan’ detailing how the approved use will operate on a day to day basis.  The Management Plan shall detail a range of measures for limiting the impact of the use on its neighbours including, for instance: a commitment to 1 staff per student ratio with an on-site management presence during operational hours, arrangements for receiving students at the start of the day and ensuring there safe departure at the end of the day, details of supervision when students leave the building, a procedure for existing neighbours to report any concerns with a commitment by the applicant for responding to such enquiries within an agreed timescale, a scheme of measures for limiting noise emanating from the building, and a review process to ensure that the Site Management Plan is working effectively.  The Management Plan shall be implemented for the lifetime of the temporary use following its written approval by the LPA.

 

REASON: Given the retrospective nature of the use, and the existing problems experienced by neighbours, additional management is needed in the interests of existing residential amenity as required by Local Plan Review Policy SDP1(i)

 

NOTE: Councillor Shields declared an interest and withdrew from the meeting.
