POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION:-
The last date for receiving objections was 13th June. The objection submitted by Mrs L Whyte was
received by e-mail on 19th June. The Board does have the power to accept late objections where there
are “good reasons”. In that case, the Board must consider whether it is in the interests of justice to
postpone or adjourn the hearing. The preliminary issue, therefore, is for the Board to determine
whether to accept the late objection, having regard to the reasons provided by the objector and the
views of the applicant. The e-mail dated 20th June from Mrs L Whyte explaining why her objection was
late is attached. 
In the event that the Board decide to accept the objection then a copy of it will be circulated to
members at the meeting.
