Several committee members had been present at the meeting held on 19 July 2022 at which the application had initially been considered, and may have previously voted on it.  Those Committee members were asked to declare if they were unable to approach the application with an open mind, listen to all the arguments and weigh up all the relevant facts before coming to a decision.  None of those members made such a declaration and so it was not necessary to recuse themselves from that item on the agenda.
