The Head of Law reminded the meeting that Mr R Helliwell had left the room due to his declared prejudicial interest and that Cllr A McCloy had declared a personal interest.

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

Members were supportive of this application but were concerned about landscaping of the site.  It was noted that the applicant had stated his future intentions for further development on the site and that the landscaping required would need to take account of future development needs.  A motion for approval was moved and seconded.  Conditions for the approval would need to cover requirements for dark colouring and timber boarding, agricultural use, surfacing and construction of track, landscaping scheme as amended, existing trees and lighting controls.
