This item was brought to Committee by Councillor S Dannheimer.

There were no late items for the Committee to consider and no public speakers. 

After considering the application and associated representations, the Committee debated the item.  It was noted that the Heritage Centre provided a valuable community service and was an asset to the area, and that this outweighed any impact on the Green Belt from the proposed development.  It was also considered that the improved facility would increase access to green spaces and provide benefits to ancillary businesses in Beeston Rylands.
