(The meeting adjourned for a short break. During the break the Senior Lawyer felt that further clarification was required regarding the additional condition relating to noise which Members had requested be included as a further condition. After the adjournment it was explained to Members that to simply add a condition relating to noise was unsatisfactory and that further explanation of what the noise condition should be was needed. Members came to an agreement on how the noise condition should be worded and for the avoidance of any doubt the vote was retaken).
