(Amended plan rec'd 11/04/2016), (Additional info received 18/07/16).

This application has been referred to the Committee because it followed an earlier approval SU/12/0161 for the same development by the Committee (against the officer recommendation).

Members noted this application had been approved in 2012 with special circumstances, but work had not commenced and the permission had now lapsed.
