Verbal clarification was given at the meeting in respect of the wording of the fourth paragraph of page 183 of the agenda papers which should be amended to read as follows:

Overall, taking all relevant factors into account, in terms of the health of existing centres and the potential impact of the proposed development, as set out in the report above, and subject to the impact mitigation proposed by the applicant being secured through appropriately worded planning conditions and obligations, it is accepted that there is no reasonable basis to conclude that the proposed development would be likely to have a significant adverse impact upon the vitality and viability of any City, Town or District Centre within the catchment areas or any existing, committed and planned public and private investment in those centres. It is consequently considered that the application is acceptable in principle and accords with the relevant Local Plan and National Planning Policy Framework policies set out at the beginning of this section.
