Members of the Committee expressed concern about the impact on neighbouring residents from vehicles parking at the site and that the allocated parking spaces may not be used as specified and were concerned that staff may park on the road. As such, the Committee asked that a Travel Plan be included as a condition. Members of the Committee asked about options for residents to communicate with staff at the care home, particularly should any problems arise, and asked for an advisory note to be added to the application requesting that a Community Liaison Group be established by the care home to facilitate discussion with residents.

Councillor C Thomas moved to accept the recommendation and approve the application with the additional condition and advisory note and this was seconded by Councillor J Chaplain and the vote was carried.
