The Committee also acceded to a request for a deputation to address the Committee in support of the application by Tony Thomas of APT Planning. After the deputation had stated their case and answered questions from members of the Committee, they were thanked for their attendance and withdrew.
Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Convener, seconded by Councillor Coleman, moved that this application be not deferred.
As an amendment, Councillor Anderson, seconded by Councillor Malone, moved that this application be deferred pending the outcome of the Reporters consideration of the Planning Committee's Refusal of Planning Application 23- 000617-PPPM - land to south of West Green Park and East of Dykes of Gray Road, Dundee which would give greater clarity about the status of NPF4 Policy 16e in relation to the current Local Development Plan.
On a division, there voted for the motion - the Convener, Bailies Roberts, Sawers, Wright, Macpherson and Scott, and Councillors Lynn, Rome, Smith, Cruickshank, Finnegan, Shears, Coleman and Crichton (14); and for the amendment - Depute Lord Provost Cordell and Councillors Anderson, Flynn, Tolland, McHugh, Malone, Scullin and Duncan (8) - Councillor Hunter taking no part in the vote due to a declaration of interest in this item - whereupon it was agreed that this application be not deferred.
Thereafter, the Convener, seconded by Bailie Roberts, moved that the application be approved subject to the conditions recommended by the Head of Planning and Economic Development.
As an amendment, Councillor Flynn, seconded by Councillor Tolland, moved that the application be refused on the grounds that it does not meet Policy 16f as it does not meet any of the three conditions which allow for the development of new homes on land not allocated for housing.
On a division, there voted for the motion - the Convener, Bailies Roberts, Sawers, Wright, Macpherson and Scott, and Councillors Lynn, Rome, Cruickshank, Finnegan, Shears, Coleman and Crichton (13); and for the amendment - Depute Lord Provost Cordell and Councillors Anderson, Flynn, Smith, Tolland, McHugh, Malone, Scullin and Duncan (9) - Councillor Hunter taking no part in the vote due to a declaration of interest in this item - whereupon it was agreed that this application be approved.
