7. Birks’ Quarry, Cllr Knotts referred to the application which had been forwarded for comment. The site is within the green belt but is just outside Saddleworth parish. However, the application impacts on Saddleworth residents. The proposal is to build houses in the disused quarry rather than re-opening the quarry as a tip as per the previous proposals for the site.

Recommendation: Approve We do not object to the building of houses which we consider as preferential to tipping. However, this does not set a precedent for any future planning applications affecting green belt in the Saddleworth area. We are also concerned about the traffic issues on the A62 associated with access to the quarry. We look for a mixed development on this site.

8. Attendance of Planning Officer The cost options for engaging an officer to advise at future meetings were circulated and discussed. It was AGREED that Option One of an hourly rate is preferable and that this option be RECOMMENDED to Finance Committee for approval.
