[To consider the planning application]

The Committee considered a report regarding 18/01156/FUL - Renovation and conversion of a former public house into 12 residential apartments and construction of a single apartment block containing 18 apartments.

Mr O’Neill addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application.
