proceeded to give a verbal report as to additional comments received in

relation to the application as follows:-

An additional three letters of objection had been received from local residents. The objections raised no new planning issues that had not been covered in the report.

officer’s recommendation.

The meeting was adjourned at 10.53am and reconvened at 11.02am.
