They included neighbour Mike Munson who told the committee the new designs remained out-of-character for the area. He also raised concerns about the potential loss of privacy from a taller building overlooking the site.
While the committee ultimately backed the scheme, they called for further conditions to be added in an effort to address these concerns.
