Notes

·         Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this application Cllr Burton left the meeting for the duration of this Item

·         Prior to the meeting the agent had requested that the application be deferred to enable the submission of further amended proposals which sought to overcome the objections identified in the officer report. The agent had been informed that the application would not be withdrawn from the agenda at this stage, particularly as unauthorised development had already taken place on site, although the application was open to be formally withdrawn with the option to submit a new application which would not incur a fee. Amended proposals were received from the agent the day prior to this meeting and therefore having been received too late would not be discussed as part of this application.

·         Speaking as an objector: Mr Ian Sherborn

·         Speaking as a supporter: Mr Richard Bradstock

·         Speaking as the applicant: Mr Sapsford

 

It was proposed by Councillor J Gladwin, seconded by Councillor D Bray and resolved:

 

That the application be refused for the reasons as set out in the officer report.
