The Development Control Manager requested that the above-mentioned planning application be deferred.  He added that it would be re?submitted to the next meeting of the Committee as the ‘notice’ served on the leaseholders living in the flat adjacent to the proposal had not yet expired.

An objector who was present at the meeting stated that she would speak at the next meeting rather than that evening.

An observer at the meeting pointed out that the plans in respect of the above?mentioned application were wrong and that the boundaries shown were incorrect.  He added that he had informed the Planning Section accordingly.  The Development Control Manager stated that he would look into this matter.
