Proposed by Councillor Chambers Seconded by Councillor Thompson
and RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:
The proposed development does not constitute an infill or rounding off development and therefore does not comply with Local Development Plan Policies LS1 and HS2.
