At the planning committee councillors supported a request for a site visit before considering the recommendation to approve. Cllr Hugh Barratt said: “It’s a very important site and a main junction, so I support the idea of a site visit so that we can look at the size of the building, which is a very big building, and the area around it, in order to assess the objections coming in.”
