(a) legal implications of the decision;
(b) financial implications of the decision;
(c) implications for the Local Plan;
(d) fairness of the decision on other wards in Torbay; and
(e) potential damage to the economy.

The voting was taken by roll call as follows: For: Councillors Addis, Amil, Baldrey, Barnby, Bent, Brooksbank, Butt, Cowell, Darling, Davies, Doggett, Ellery, Excell, Hernandez, Hill, James, Kingscote, Lewis, Morey, Parrott, Pentney, Pountney, Scouler, Stocks, Stockman, Stringer, Thomas (D), Thomas (J) and Tyerman (29); Against: Councillors Hytche and Mills (2); Abstain: the Mayor (as decision-maker) and Councillor McPhail (2); Absent: Councillors Faulkner (A), Faulkner (J) and Pritchard (3); Therefore the motion was declared carried.
