Charles Uzzell, council business manager for planning and environment, said: "The extra numbers seem to have been effectively managed. We will be reviewing this post event with the organisers but we certainly have no significant concerns at this stage.
"We have noticed however that many of the camp sites were very full so this is something we may need to pick up on after the festival. The ground conditions have clearly been testing but we have been working with the organisers to ensure that this doesn't affect the management."
He added, "For us the most significant breach of the licensing conditions was the over-run on the Other Stage on Friday night (Bjork). This is a concern and we will be investigating the matter fully with organisers and the police."
In March, Mendip District Council granted a four-year licence for the festival, which included an increase in attendees from 150,000 to 177,500, on a larger site with new campsite and entertainment areas.
During the festival the council monitors that the licence conditions are being adhered to. It also takes on an enforcement role regarding health and safety on-site, including food safety, water supply, crowd / noise / traffic management and litter. The council also works very closely with organisers and the police to ensure festival safety and reduce crime.
