When deploying a new version of a Grails 3.1.1 application war into a running Tomcat, I am presented with an exception when accessing it after deployment.

It only happens roughly once in three or four deployments and so far and a restart of Tomcat fixes it (i.e. the error does not happen on Tomcat start), I've not been able to come up with what's causing it. It is also happening on another Grails application that a colleague is writing.
Update: It's now happening more frequently, hence the bounty.
The application does not make use of flash to pass messages. The session is being used but I've ensured that all objects stored there are thread-safe.
Happy to provide any other additional information upon request, as I'm not sure what is needed to troubleshoot this one.
Update 2: I couldn't find any classpath clashes, however, I'll post my dependency list just in case someone else spots something:
