The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.
The Chair noted support from Asthall and Brize Norton parish councils, which was welcomed, and stated that objections were covered in the report.
The Chair referenced a generic response that came up several times in the agenda objecting to the schemes, but it was noted that the schemes put forward were part of the adopted policy of the County Council.
The Chair thanked officers and agreed to the recommendations in the report.
