Item 11 was presented and discussed at the same time as item 12 but the votes were taken separately.

 

Some Members had visited the site the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for approval as set out in the report.  The proposed works will restore the building and retain machinery and features.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

Caroline McIntyre - Agent

 

Members were supportive of restoration of the building, whilst also keeping the historic features of the Mill.  There was concern about the foul water drainage system as the site is adjacent to a river.  Members queried the oil fired heating system as the best option, the housing of the storage tank and transport of oil onto the site.

 

A motion to approve the application subject to condition 7 being amended to allow for an alternative energy source to serve the building was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
