Members considered an application for the formation of a combat games area with car parking, administration building with changing/toilet facilities.  Revised plans received showed a new layout for the site, further details of structures (including heights and materials) and additional landscaping and screening.

Prior to the meeting, Members of the Development Management Committee undertook a site visit and written representations were circulated to members.  At the meeting Mr Bridge addressed the Committee in support of the application.  In accordance with Standing Order B4.1 Councillor Ellery also spoke in support of the application.

Resolved:

Consideration deferred to allow for officers to further negotiate with the applicant on the use of appropriate screening/mature planting, and seek to reduce the detrimental visual impact of the proposal.
