Mr Harrington addressed the sub-committee, during which he highlighted his concerns regarding public safety due to the congestion already in the vicinity and the proximity of the premises to a busy main road; the limited parking available for customers accessing this premise and other business units. 

Mr Harrington brought to member’s attention his concerns regarding the prevention of crime and disorder.
