RESOLVED: so suspend Standing Orders to allow members of the public so speak Mr Newberry addressed the committee concerning application 05/63127/LBC. He questioned the need to demolish this building which was listed and in a conservation area. He thought the building should revert to it’s previous use as a garage or converted into a dwelling. He was afraid the site would become a dumping ground for rubbish if the building were to be demolished.

This was a good stone building and could be converted into a dwelling in keeping with the surrounding cottages.
