To receive and, if so determined, to approve as a correct record the Minutes of the meeting held on 8^th August, 2024.

RESOLVED: That the Minutes of the meeting held on 8^th August 2024, be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chair.

A maximum of 15 minutes will be allocated to public questions submitted in writing to Democratic Services (democratic.services@trafford.gov.uk) by 4pm on the working day prior to the meeting. Questions must be within the remit of the Committee or be relevant to items appearing on the agenda and will be submitted in the order in which they were received.

One question was received from a Member of the Public relating to Application 112429/FUL/23 (Woodlands United Reformed Church, Woodlands Parkway, Timperley, Altrincham).

The Head of Planning and Development outlined how this was a representation on the Application and would therefore be dealt with during the agenda item, rather than in the time for public questions, as this was when the merits of applications of the agenda should be discussed. The Head of Planning and Development referred Members to the Additional Information report where the questions had been reported and responded to, with the Planning and Development Manager to address this during the agenda item.

RESOLVED: That the update from the Head of Planning and Development be noted.

To consider a report of the Head of Planning and Development, to be tabled at the meeting.

To note the attached report of the Head of Planning and Development.

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report informing Members of the making of an immediate Article 4 Direction, removing permitted development rights for the demolition of 27 Davyhulme Road, Davyhulme, Manchester, M41 8GA, which had taken place since the previous meeting of the Committee on 8 August 2024.

The decision was made by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committee together with the Corporate Director of Place by reason of urgency and because the matter constituted ‘an emergency action which cannot reasonably await the next meeting’. This was because, in order to prevent the demolition of the building, an Article 4 Direction needed to be made before the expiry of an application for prior approval for demolition on 3 September 2024.

The Head of Planning and Development outlined correspondence received from the owners of the properties with information of their personal circumstances and asking that officers discuss their options with them. This had been included within the Additional Information Report and the owners were assured that officers would engage with them to discuss.

RESOLVED: That the Committee noted the contents of the report and appended report for information.
