Issue - meetings

1.     Z/2013/1485/F - Sport and Leisure Swifts at Glen Road Heights (new 3G pitch in revised position with floodlights, dug outs, turnstiles, a 1.2m fence and associated ground works).

The Committee was informed that the application had complied with all relevant planning policies and that the principle of development was considered to be acceptable. It was reported that the closest residential properties were located over 200 metres from the site and that the floodlighting would not have any adverse impact on residential amenity. The environmental impact assessment which had been undertaken in respect of local bats, would, it was pointed out, be mitigated by the placing of a condition to ensure that the floodlights would not be operational between the 1st April and 30th September. Accordingly, the Committee was recommended to approve the application.

            The Committee granted approval, subject to the imposing of the conditions as outlined within the Case Officer’s report.
