Lorna Ryder, on behalf of the applicant, Keith Brittle, objecting, and Greg Stackhouse, objecting, addressed the meeting prior to the general debate.

It was noted that the access to the site had already been determined and could not be reconsidered.  It was requested that there be a construction management plan to ensure that development would commence at the Shilo Way end of the site.

It was proposed by Councillor R I Jackson and seconded by Councillor D D Pringle that the application be deferred to allow the developer to give further consideration to neighbour amenity and to write a construction management plan.  On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.
