Before
proceeding with his presentation the Area Team Leader advised of a late
representation received from Mr Tommy Millar, who had previously submitted an
objection to this application. It was
the view of Officers that the matters raised had been addressed in the report
of handing which had been before the Members at their meeting in November 2023.
The
Area Team Leader then spoke to the terms of supplementary report number 1 which
provided Members with an update following their decision on 22 November 2023 to
continue the application in order to allow submission of further information
from the Applicant. The Applicant
submitted the requested information which included: a health and safety
management plan for the site; revised site plan with tyre ladder details;
revised cross-section plan; revised security steel mesh fence details to
include 2 strands of barbed wire at the top and bottom; and Health and Safety
Executive information sheet on managing slurry on farms.
It
was recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the revised list
of conditions and reasons detailed in supplementary report number 1.
