The case officer reported on the matter and summarised the key issues as set out in the report. The Committee noted that it was understood that the developer hoped to use the rubble and waste from the site to build a platform on which to build the new hotel on Mooragh Promenade. The Committee expressed concern that the materials should not be allowed to remain on site for an unlimited period, and the site be allowed to become a target for fly tippers. The Committee discussed the possibility of changing the proposed legal agreement to require the provision of affordable housing rather than a commuted sum, but, with the exception of Mr Cottier, the Committee agreed that if would be unreasonable to change the decision which had previously been acceptable. {{table:354612}} ## Decision The Committee accepted the recommendation of the case officer and determination of the application was deferred pending the completion of a legal agreement requiring that a monetary contribution be made in lieu of the affordable housing provision and an agreement requiring that prior to the re-development (excluding the demolition) of the Grand Island Hotel, the hotel approved within application (07/01790/B or 09/01400/B) must be in operation and trading as a hotel. On completion of the necessary legal agreements, the Committee delegated authority to the Director or Senior Planner to approve the application subject to the following conditions. C 1. Approval of the details of siting, design, external appearance of the building[s], internal layout, means of access, landscaping of the site (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be obtained from the Planning Authority in writing before any development is commenced. C 2. The application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Planning Authority before the expiration of two years from the date of this permission. C 3. The development to which this permission relates shall begin within 4 years of the date of this permission or within two years of the final approval of the reserved matters, whichever is the later. C 4. In the interest of road safety, a Full Transport Assessment will be required to be submitted at a Reserved Matter Application stage, this will determine the form of the new access, location of access and number of off street parking spaces. C 5. PRIOR to the commencement of any building / demolition works, a photographic survey must be undertaken to record all existing internal and external features of interest for the approval of the Planning Authority, such record to be prepared in consultation with the Conservation Officer of the Department. C 6. Prior to any demolition taking place, a scheme shall be submitted to, and approved by the Planning Authority that provides for: (i) The removal of all rubbish and waste materials from the site within one month of the completion of demolition; (ii) the temporary and secure storage of building rubble and re-usable material for a maximum period of 3 months from the completion of demolition; and (iii) a landscaping plan, including the provision of boundary treatment for the interim period between demolition and construction of the residential development. The landscaping plan and boundary treatment shall be implemented within the first planting season, or within 6 months following the demolition, whichever is the sooner. N 1. Given the 'Landmark Status' and prominent position of the Grand Island Hotel, the Planning Authority will be seeking any replacement building/s to be of 'Landmark Status' design, finished to a high standard. The standard must also be implemented to all publicly visible elevations of the new building/s. ### Party Status Interested party status was considered by the Committee and agreed as recommended.
