Decision details

Following consideration, the Committee resolved (6 for, 1 abstaining, and the Chair not voting) to:

(1)          To note the motion referred to this Committee by Full Council and, in light of the options set out at section 8.8 of the report, make no resolution or recommendation following a debate on that motion.

(2)          Submit a request to Strategy and Resources Committee that funding be allocated from limited Council reserves to instruct external noise consultants to conduct a fresh investigation based upon the activities on the site and that significant complaints continue despite the buildings being constructed and commissioned. It is anticipated that further investigations may require a substantial financial commitment of taxpayer’s funds of up to £140,000, as set-out in section 10 of the report.
