In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mrs Comfort, an objector, spoke against the application and Mr Pearce, the agent acting on behalf of the applicant, spoke in favour of the application. 

 

Councillor RC Hunt, a local Ward Member felt that the application was for an innovative scheme but he shared the concerns of the objector that the pond area should have safeguards to prevent it being a danger to children.  The Sub-Committee felt that this could be dealt with by appropriate conditions.
