            Resolved – (1) That it be noted that application numbered S/14/58 was withdrawn.

            (2) That the Head of Planning and Regulatory Services be authorised to grant planning permission in respect of application numbered S/14/753 subject to the applicant being requested to amend the proposal to provide an additional parking space to serve the proposed flats and if such agreement is reached, the application be amended to reflect this and that a legal agreement is entered into to secure a claw back of the necessary developer contributions should the development achieve a reasonable profit and subject to the conditions listed in the report which can be added to, amended or omitted as appropriate.

If by 21st October 2014, the legal agreement has not been completed and a further extension of time has not been agreed to, the Head of Planning and Regulatory Services may refuse planning permission for the following reason:

 The applicant has failed to enter into a legal agreement to secure the necessary infrastructure provision to mitigate the development. As such the proposal is contrary to policy DS8 of the Swindon Borough Local Plan 2011 (2006) and the Council's adopted 'Developer Contributions 2010 Update' Guidance Note (Nov, 2010) hat permission be refused in respect of the following applications for the reasons set out in the Committee report.
