Agenda item

The applicant attended the meeting and spoke in support of his application.  He informed members that the farm required additional hard standing to safely store farm equipment.  The application would have very little effect on the area.  It was merely replacing existing buildings.  The current surface at the farm was impractical for use in winter.  Were the application to be refused then it would have a detrimental effect on the farm, with the viability of the business brought in to question.  Belton Parish Council supported the application.

Councillor J Davison understood the recommendation proposed by the planning officer.  However, he was of the opinion that the application should be granted.

It was then moved by Councillor J Davison and seconded by Councillor C Ross –
