A communication had already been received and sent to members regarding this meeting with a link so if anyone wanted to attend to make representation then they could do so. It was agreed to contact Cllr Savage to ask if he was going to attend the online meeting and if he needed any support from this Committee. Cllr. Savage’s views mirror this committees, in that the plan for two upper floor apartments is too ambitious and one flat would be sufficient for the space available. The clerk will email Cllr.
