	David Ricardo, spoke as a resident to read out a letter of objection to the above application. He said that the plans were inaccurate. The storage container was shown to 617 the east of the building and not the north. He added that there was no detail of the kind of storage container proposed, dimensions and whether it is permanent or mobile. He felt it was unacceptable for a conservation area.
