This application is proposing 10 starter units. The previous application described these as being storage, light industrial and manufacturing uses. The previous application proposed 27 spaces. This application proposes additional 4 spaces bring the total number of spaces to be provided to 31.

The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
