Agenda item

To consider the report of the Director of Strategy, Performance and Governance, (copy enclosed).

Following the Officer’s presentation, Mr Andrew Wisbey, the Applicant, addressed the Committee.

The Committee discussed the importance of supporting local Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore it was noted that this was not a new business but an expansion of an existing one providing rural employment in line with policy S7. It was concluded that with natural screening (planting on top of the bund) and appropriate site lighting this should be supported.

Councillor Mrs P A Channer proposed that the application be approved, contrary to the Officer’s recommendation and with suitable conditions. This was seconded by Councillor M W Helm.

The Chairman put the proposal to the Committee and upon a vote being taken it was agreed that the application be approved.
