Members were requested to receive the minutes of the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 18 February 2010.

In respect of minute 151 Councillor Hayes requested that his motion include the reason for refusal to read:

“That the planning application be refused because it would be visually obtrusive”.

Minute 151 was subsequently further amended at the meeting on 31 March, so that the full wording of Councillor Hayes’ motion was included, to read:

“That the planning application be refused because the proposed development would result in a larger industrial building which is visually obtrusive and out of character with the surrounding residential area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy HS15 of the adopted Wirral Unitary Development Plan.”
