14/11548/FUL - Roberts Barracks, Larkhill Garrison, Larkhill Dear Simon Our ref: CWI15417 I have received a Written Scheme of Investigation and Appendix for this application, which I attach for your information. I am happy that the proposed works are appropriate. Therefore, if there is a DOC request for Condition 6 of this application I would be happy to recommend a partial discharge of the condition. I would not, however, recommend a complete discharge as the works detailed in the WSI have not yet been carried out. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
