“It is suggested that options for offsite mitigation are sought. The old version of the PEA has been reissued with no amendments therefore my previous comment regarding GCN has not been addressed. Trees need protecting during construction, new supporting documents have been submitted but defer to the tree officer for comment.”

“Revised Comments: If the self-build element has been withdrawn then the gain condition will now apply, This means that the offsetting issue can be dealt with via the gain condition, and whilst we don’t have complete clarity we do know that the applicant has recognised the need for offsetting. In effect the gain condition could be discharged by them providing evidence of purchase of the correct number of units.”
