Reason for Referral to the Committee / Council |
Member call-in request by Councillor N R Miller for the following reasons: will ensure that an important heritage building in the Town Centre will be able to continue to be a positive influence. With the lack of high quality accommodation within the town and bearing in mind this building was a former Hotel this application is in compliance with S1 and D3 of the LDP and keeps an historic (and very high maintenance) building at the heart of our community. Parking is readily available nearby which complies with Policies T2 and D2 of the LDP. There is currently no interest on a commercial basis and with the excess of empty office space available within the Town there would appear to be little hope securing a viable rent for the property. Policy E5 states we should support and encourage positive developments to aid the growth of the local economy. |
Following the Officer’s presentation, the Chairperson opened the floor for debate.
Councillor N R Miller proposed that listed building consent be granted in line with the Officer’s recommendation and this was duly seconded.
There being no further discussion the Chairperson put the proposal to the Committee and upon a vote being taken this was agreed.
RESOLVED to GRANT Listed Building Consent subject to the following conditions:
1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
2. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans and documents:
Premises as Existing drawing 61e
Premises as Proposed drawing 69A
Window detail drawing no. 63
Window detail drawing no. 66A
3. The size, appearance and locations of any air-conditioning units associated with the approved development shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the local planning authority prior to their installation.
