CERTIFICATE OF LAWFULNESS FOR AN EXISTING USE OR DEVELOPMENT.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

Councillors Alexa Michael and Charles Joel had independently visited the site and, other than a small hut in use and some plant storage, no sign of business activity or evidence of vehicle repairs was apparent and the site appeared to have been abandoned. 

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that the application BE DEFERRED, without prejudice to any future consideration to seek further details and clarification on the current use of the land and for advice as to whether any use of the Land had been abandoned.
