A site visit had been held on Saturday, 16 June 2018, which had been attended by Councillors Dudley, Mrs Hayes, Mrs Mattick and Thompson.

The Committee noted:

• The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting.
• The comments of Winkfield Parish Council recommending refusal of the application.
