Councillors had objected to the original submitted application. The Case Officer had informed them by means of this letter that he was minded now to recommend approval of the application following the submission of revised plans. The Council was invited to:

(a) agree with his recommendation

(b) agree to disagree, or

(c) maintain its objection and request that the application be determined by the Planning Committee.

The clerk read out 3 emails from parishioners objecting to the revised application.

He then read out a detailed submission in support of the application from Lisa Solly, of Situ8 Ltd Planning Consultancy.

After discussion the Council voted unanimously to select option (c) in the Protocol Letter and maintain its objection to the application, with a request that the matter be determined by the Planning Committee (Proposed RG, seconded NM).
