Agenda item

The Principal Planning Officer presented the application to the committee.

In response to concerns about the pavement leading to the site and its width, the PPO clarified that the pavement leading to the site led to the car park entrance and it measured 2.5 meters across.

It was proposed by Councillor Bullivant and seconded by Councillor Palethorpe that permission be granted as set out in the report and update sheet with one extra condition regarding the pavement.

A vote was taken – the result was unanimously in favour.
