The Committee received the following information, circulated prior to the meeting:

(i)         a written deputation submitted on behalf of the applicant;

(ii)        responses received from statutory consultees since the agenda was published;

(iii)        an amendment to paragraph 7.12 of the officer’s report relating to crime prevention; and

(iii)        an amendment to recommended condition 2.
