the merits of the Application without requiring further authorisation. As a result of this, the Chairperson
confirmed that the recommendation associated with this Application, would be
amended as detailed in the circulated Amendment Sheet.

Flooding Impacts etc, as detailed within the circulated
report, Officers confirmed with Members that brief update reports be brought
back to Committee when appropriate, regarding the progress of the Restoration

in accordance with the Officer recommendation and subject to the amended
recommendation, as detailed within the

removal of the holding direction from Welsh Government, and subject to the
listed Conditions and a revised Legal Agreement, to secure an acceptable
programme of prioritised works and the
