Members sought clarification regarding power/energy management
and the use of PV panels. Members raised concerns regarding the
close proximity of heavy vehicle
movement areas to neighbouring residential properties. Objections were also raised due to the length of

Members raised further objections due to the close proximity and

neighbouring residential development. Members sought to increase
