The following people addressed the Committee: Diane Thomas – Town/Parish Council Jamie Lewis – Objector Susan Hughes – Applicant Nikki Ind – Ward Member
The Committee noted that the site was not located in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) although the boundary of the AONB was a short distance away.

The Committee noted that the current site has unrestricted use and unrestricted movement of HGV and other sized vehicles to and from the site with the potential for the current volumes of traffic to increase. This cannot be retrospectively restricted or removed.
The Committee noted that the number of daily HGV movements captured by villagers and the Town & Parish Council was significantly different to the number captured by the Applicant.
The Committee noted that a representative from Gloucestershire Council Highways had not been available to attend the Committee meeting.
Councillor Webster proposed and Councillor Neil seconded that the decision was DEFFERED pending completion of an all Committee Member site visit to view the surroundings of the site and to see whether the mitigation suggested would work and was in keeping.
