The Area Development Manager introduced the report which recommended approval, and outlined the application history of the site and stressed that the matter before the Committee dealt with reserved matters only due to past approval being granted.

Members then had the opportunity to ask technical question of the Area Development Manager, during which the question of there being no roof windows was raised.

Members of the public then had the opportunity to speak, as detailed above.

A debate followed, during which the report of the government Planning Inspector was referenced and specific conditions queried and the size of the proposed construction and access was questioned. It was clarified that several objections did not apply as a result of the initial granting of the application.

The Local Member, Cllr Rod Eaton, spoke in support of the application on that basis.

After discussion, it was,
