Councillor S J Carr requested that this proposal come before Committee.

There were no late items and no public speakers.

Having considered all of the evidence before it, the Committee debated the item with particular reference to the quality of the flats, which were small and lacked light, as well as the impact that the proposed development would have on facilities for residents such as parking and communal spaces.
