The Committee approved the application contrary to the recommendation in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and New Communities).  Members agreed the reasons for approval as being that the tennis court had been moved further away from the tree belt, thus overcoming a previous reason for refusal, and the fact that they did not consider it to be detrimental to the countryside.  Conditions would be attached to the planning permission as appropriate, and would cover such things as landscaping, permitted hours of construction, and a requirement that upon cessation of use as a tennis court the land should be returned to agricultural use.  The planning permission would also include an Informative making clear that any floodlighting would require a further planning application to be made.
