To receive communications from the Chairman.

The Chairman warmly welcomed all Members and Officers to the inaugural meeting of the South Northamptonshire Local Area Planning Committee.

In response to questions from Members, the Chairman provided clarification on the process that would be followed in the future should a Parish Council object to a planning application, namely, that an objection received from a Parish Council is not an automatic reason in itself for a planning application to be brought before the Committee for consideration.

Approved, subject to various requirements to be set out in the Minutes.

The Committee considered application S/2021/0380/MAF comprising of an employment development of 7 units (2 buildings) to be used for  Class E(g)(iii) (light industrial processes), B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) floorspace, and retail development of 1 unit for Class E (a) (display or retail sale of goods, other than hot food) and (b) (sale of food and drink for consumption (mostly) on the premises) floorspace at land east of Northampton Road, Brackley for Tungsten Brackley LTD.
