A traffic impact assessment will also be undertaken to assess the traffic implications and a further report will be presented at the May council meeting with details of community consultation ahead of public advertising.
The Town has sought legal advice regarding Mr Day’s modifications.
Councillor Sonia Grinceri declared an interest in the item at last night’s meeting but the other councillors voted to allow her to participate in the discussion, but not to vote on the item.
The latest the Town can submit its recommendation to the Minister is December this year.
