Agenda item

The Committee received a presentation by the Case Officer which set out the main issues in respect of the application.  He introduced the report which recommended that planning permission be granted.

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions after which the Committee received a statement from Cllr F Carne, representing Market Lavington Parish Council, expressing the Parish Council’s views objecting to the proposal.
