The Planning Area Team Leader presented the report with updates. This was followed by 2 Public Speakers. Members then took part in a debate on the application where concerns were raised about the lack of protection given to the mature hedgerow on the site’s eastern boundary and the loss more generally of hedgerows and biodiversity in the District. The recommendation was then proposed by Councillor Bower and seconded by Councillor Chace.
