P.73 STREET TADING GRANT APPLICATION – LI19 0078034 The Committee strongly object to the proposed application due to the specific location. The site is dangerously located in relation to a busy junction and highway route and would promote further parking near a junction, double yellow lines. The proposed vehicle is unattractive and is likely to be accompanied by signage which will have a negative impact on the high quality of the local environment. It could give rise to a problem with litter.
