Richard Parish (objector), Barry Johnson (applicant) andcllr Angela Pearce (Arrington Parish Council) addressed the meeting. Committee members established that part only of Mill Lane had a hard surface but that space existed to accommodate vehicle passing spaces. The intention was that the lets should be short-term holiday lets only. It was confirmed that the proposed gym and retail facilities would be for the benefit only of those staying in the holiday lets. The applicant confirmed that he would be prepared to pay for the hard surfacing of the whole of Mill Lane, but pointed out this would need consent from the landowner.
Members were informed that some residents of Mill Lane apparently had not been notified about the application.
