The Committee considered an application for the demolition of existing first floor ancillary retail area and erection of two floors containing eight residential units with associated car and cycle parking and refuse store.  The application had been brought to the Committee because Irthlingborough Town Council had objected to the proposed development.

During debate on the application, the Planning Officer confirmed that during the previous planning appeals the extra floor had not been included and had only been included in this application.  It was clarified that Conservation Officer comments had not been sought as that had not been raised as an issue at the previous appeals.  Members raised concerns at the number of parking spaces proposed and it was confirmed that one space per flat had been accepted by a Planning Inspector previously.
