3.         In the event that the planning obligation cannot be completed by 7th November 2011, authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Regeneration to REFUSE the Application on the basis that, without the planning obligation, the proposed development would be contrary to policy and therefore unacceptable owing to the resultant detrimental impacts it could cause to community infrastructure, by a lack of provision for their improvements; and

            (Members noted that, as satisfactory amended plans showing the access onto Fishing Line Road being restricted to buses only, had been received, the reference to this outstanding matter in the Officer’s recommendation was, therefore, no longer relevant.)
