Charlotte Gibson, acting on behalf of the applicant, asked that the hearing be adjourned due to the fact that a number of objections that had been received were with regard to noise breakout from the premises.  She stated that her clients were currently in negotiation with a specialist company with regard to the installation of a noise attenuation system and she said that when such negotiations had come to a close, she would consult with the Responsible Authorities.  Jon Round, Sean Gibbons and Tim Shield agreed to the adjournment.  Mr. Shield, in supporting the adjournment requested that the acoustic report, before it is finalised with the Responsible Authorities, be shared with himself and all the objectors in good time so that full consideration can be given to the proposal by all concerned.   The applicant agreed to this request.
