Agenda item

To consider the report of the Director of Service Delivery (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

Following the Officers’ presentation, the Agent Ms Brown addressed the Committee.

In response to questions raised, the Specialist: Local Plans advised that there was no overlooking into the garden from adjacent residential properties and the Council could condition for electric charging points and any other green infrastructure to be put in place.
