Description of application –  Enlarge existing porch with wheelchair ramp to improve accessibility.

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

Councillor Alexa Michael was familiar with the planning history of the site and supported the application.  She emphasised that personal circumstances were not normally taken into account but in this case the effect on the green belt was marginal.
