Minutes:

The Head of Planning introduced the report, and informed Members that although the Highways Authority had objected to the application, the Authority considered that there were insufficient grounds for refusal on safety grounds as it was felt that the alterations would not lead to an intensification of the building or the vehicular and pedestrian access.
