RESOLVED: That the application be approved.

Replacement of existing 2 x single storey toilet facilities at Willow Lawn and Woody Bay, provision of replacement single storey 2 x toilets and changing facility buildings, and associated works and landscaping.

Officers presented the report noting that the application was recommended for approval.

Ward Councillor Peter Smallwood was in attendance and addressed the Committee in support of the application. Councillor Smallwood outlined the importance of the landscaping condition. He noted that the toilets at the Lido had often been closed which had been inconvenient and had led to antisocial behaviour.

Members enquired why changing facilities were needed given that swimming at the Lido was forbidden. It was explained that the proposed changing facilities would be for the use of families and those with disabilities.  

In response to further questions from Councillors, it was explained that a large tank would provide emergency overflow back up if needed.

Members welcomed the proposal. The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
