Cllr Mrs K Potter declared a personal interest as she knew the speaker Mr Noble.

The Head of Law reminded the meeting that Cllr P Brady had left the room due to his declared prejudicial interest in this application.

It was noted that Members had visited the site on the previous day.

The Planning officer reported that there were 2 amendments to make to the report.  In the first paragraph under the heading ‘Proposals’ the last sentence should state ‘and one 6-bed unit’ not ‘and one 4-bed unit’.  In the recommendation there were 2 conditions numbered 11 and the second one of these should be deleted, it was noted that it was a duplication of the condition numbered 5.  Also an amended site plan had been circulated.
