The Committee considered a report on the application to grant planning permission for the partial demolition of units 1, 2 and 3 at Tealedown Works to facilitate roof replacement and installation of first floor mezzanine and façade improvements. The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and recommended to grant permission subject to conditions. The planning officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report.

The feasibility was questioned of imposing a condition to secure the painting of the external boundary fencing to avoid a bare metal finish. Officers proposed an amendment to condition 3 to require details of the boundary fencing to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 

The Chair moved the recommendation of the report including the proposed amendment to condition 3 detailed above and it was
