Agenda item

It was noted that Cllr A McCloy had declared a personal prejudicial interest in this item as he was a close friend of the applicant and had therefore left the meeting.

Reassurances were given on the re surfacing of Clough Lane and that no development would take place until the surface of the lane had been improved.

The recommendation for approval of the planning application subject to conditions as detailed in the report was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
