Consideration was given to planning application 24/1351/FUL  Land to The West of Thornaby Pavilion, Thornaby, TS17 9EW.

Planning permission was sought for the erection of a leisure centre, which would incorporate a gym and swimming pool, along with a link bridge at first floor to connect to the existing Thornaby Pavilion leisure facilities, together with associated access, parking and infrastructure.

The application was within the centre of Thornaby, in the designated district centre, on a parcel of previously developed, brownfield land. The redevelopment of the site for leisure purposes, would be commensurate with the surrounding land uses, therefore the principle of development in this location was considered acceptable.

The application had been called to Planning Committee for determination as the application had been made by Stockton Borough Council and fell outside of Officers scheme of delegation.

The application had been considered in full and it was considered that the development would not result in any significant conflict with the policies of the Local Plan or relevant chapters of the NPPF and there were no technical reasons why the proposed scheme would be deemed unacceptable in planning terms in which to justify a refusal of the application.

The consultees that had been notified and the comments that had been received were detailed within the main report.

Neighbours were notified and the comments received were detailed within the main report.

The planning policies and material planning considerations that were relevant to the consideration of the application were contained within the main report.

The Planning Officers report concluded that in view of the assessment above, it was considered that the proposed development would not result in any significant conflict with the policies contained within the Stockon on Tees Local Plan or the relevant chapters of the NPPF and there were no technical reasons why the proposed scheme would be deemed unacceptable.

In planning terms, the proposed development was considered acceptable in all other regards and was therefore recommended for approval subject to those planning conditions set out in the report.

Officers informed the Committee that since the officers original report there had been a minor amendment to condition 7, full details of which could be found below.

Members fully endorsed the application which would be greatly beneficial to Thornaby and Stockton, however it was also felt that the report lacked detail for further scrutinization.

It was felt that Thornaby Town Deal Board had done an excellent job.

A vote took place and the application was approved.
