The Committee heard from the Senior Development Management Officer that since the report was published, further negotiations had been ongoing with the agent, planning officer and conservation officer regarding the proposed materials to be used in the development as requested in the published list of conditions. Additional information was received from the agent on 2 October which gave further details regarding the materials to be used in the development. This information had since been reviewed by the Council’s Conservation Officer who had confirmed that they were happy with the materials. It was therefore recommended to Committee that conditions 3 and 11 of the planning permission and listed building consent were deleted and conditions 5, 6, 8 and 9 were amended to read that ‘the development shall proceed in accordance with the relevant details and/or specification received on 2^nd October’.
