Agenda item

There was no public participation.

The Planning Officer presented his report to the Committee which recommended that permission be approved.

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officer. The scale of the property was clarified and the position of the development in relation to the boundary was raised. 

An item of late correspondence was circulated at the meeting.

The Local Member was not present.

Members debated the proposal and it was highlighted that there was already permission for a three bedroom house on the site.
