The Development Management Manager referred to an issue that had arisen further to the report of the Director of Regeneration and Place in relation to the above application. He indicated that a plan which had  been submitted by the applicant had a discrepancy as regards the stated scale. This had been corrected on the afternoon of 11 January 2024 by submission of a revised plan. In order to enable the fairness of the application process he strongly recommended that the consideration of the matter be deferred to enable further public consultation to take place on the application, given the submission of the revised plan.
