Minutes:

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Ms Diana Russ, Objector.

 

Officers were requested to add implementation of the scheme to condition 12 of the recommendation. 

 

In response to Members’ queries officers stated that there was no proposal for a hardstanding as the applicant lived close to the site, however if Members were concerned about possible impact on the landscape a condition could be included.

 

The recommendation for approval subject to conditions was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
