In response to questions from members of the Committee, officers pointed out that:

c.                   The planning officer believes that it would be the Council who would be managing the facility in the future.

d.                  The planning officer confirmed that the proposed changing places facility would be additional to the existing toilet facilities which included facilities for the physically less-able.
