Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the proposal would support tourism without unacceptable environmental, amenity, infrastructure, flood-risk or road-safety impacts.
  • The community council objected, while residents raised privacy, road-safety and surface-water concerns and others supported tourism and local economic benefits.
  • The committee approved the application for the stated reason and subject to conditions.
