Some concerns were raised by the committee, such as issues of flooding and security.
Cllr Ray Best suggested raising the height of the building or constructing a brick wall around it to ward against flooding.
He added: It does concern me about the flood defences. It seemed much more sensible to consider them now rather than waiting for a few years and we end up two foot deep in water and then start to think about them because it s going to cost millions of pounds to rectify.
Simon Thelwell, the council s head of strategic development, said that the building would have a raised ground floor level but said it is up to the Environment Agency to decide if that is sufficient.
