This item includes a supplementary report.

Amended recommendation proposed by Councillor Fear and seconded by Councillor Hutchison.

Following a lengthy discussion and concerns raised in respect of parking and potential anti-social behaviour, a site visit was proposed.

The Chair expressed his disappointment that the Councillor who had called in the application was not in attendance to make representations.  It was hoped that the Planning Committee, going forward would address the matter as he felt that that the Member calling in an application should be at the meeting or send apologies.

Resolved:       That a decision on this application be deferred to allow for a site visit to take place on Thursday 23 April, 2026 at 6.15pm.
