Members expressed concerns regarding access to the site via the two different entrances. There were concerns regarding the possibility of the obscurement of the sight lines for when two smaller vehicles leave the site at the same time. As a result conditions six and seven of the original committee report presented to the Committee on 24 August 2017 would be changed to ensure the visibility zones are kept clear each side at a minimum of 2 metres back from the road.

The officer recommendation to approve the application was proposed by Councillor Nick Chambers, seconded by Councillor Adrian Page, and put to the vote and carried.
