The Chair requested that an additional condition to be put on this application:

Prior to commencement of development, a communications and engagement plan shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority which should include setting out how the existing residents on site, will be given adequate notice of the start of development and what measures will be put in place to keep them advised on the way in which development will be carried out and the progress of construction works.
