The Sub-Committee was
initially required to consider whether a local resident, Dr David
Haynes, should be an interested party at the hearing. He had submitted an e-mail expressing
his concerns about the application the day prior to the
hearing and had offered to act as a witness to residents at
the hearing. He had not made a representation
within the required consultation period and due to it being a late
representation the e-mail had not been forwarded to the
Sub-Committee. Ms Lee and Ms May had
expressed an interest in Dr Haynes acting as a witness. Mr Panto, the Sub-Committee’s Legal Adviser,

application until a day before the hearing and that he offered a
different perspective as he lived opposite Purl in Blandford Street. It
was Mr Brown’s view that Dr Haynes’ email was not
introducing new grounds for objection that had not been raised
previously. He was available to speak
at the hearing should the Sub-Committee permit this. Mr Mayhew, representing the Applicant, stated that
he agreed with Mr Panto’s
advice. He had only been made aware
that residents wished to have a witness speak for them that morning
and Dr Haynes had been given a significant period of time to make a
representation. The Sub-Committee took
the view that the guidance was strict in this area. There were a number of existing representations
from local residents already. Members
did not consider that by not permitting Dr Haynes to address them,
