21/00339/FUL - Quest Motors, Wycke Hill Business Park, Maldon To consider the report of the Director of Service Delivery (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.
Minutes:
Following the Officer’s presentation an Objector, Mr Smye addressed the Committee on behalf of the Maldon Society followed by the Agent Ms Miles.
In response to questions from Members, the Specialist Development Management provided the Committee with the following information:
· In respect of car parking, it was confirmed that the scheme met the required number of parking spaces to accord with the Council’s car parking standards however in addition to this number there were some spaces which were not of the recommended minimum size.
· Any changes to the uses conditioned would require permission from the Council. The Officer outlined the different Use Classes.
· In response to a question regarding conditioning the use of recyclable cups Members were informed that this was not within the powers of the Local Planning Authority, however an informative could be added to encourage their use. Councillor N G F Shaughnessy requested that this informative be added.
· It was confirmed that there would be electric vehicle charging points provided within the scheme.
Councillor C Morris proposed that the Committee accept the Officers’ recommendation with an additional condition to change the layout as indicated by the objector in his presentation. This proposal was not supported.
There was some concern raised regarding the addition of another national brand of coffee shops rather than an independent shop. Members were advised that this was not something that could be controlled through the planning process.
Following further discussion Councillor M S Heard proposed that the application be approved, subject to all of the car parking spaces being 2.9 x 5.5m and therefore complying with the Council’s parking standards and that an electric vehicle charging point be provided within the proposed coffee shop parking area. This proposal was duly seconded.
In response to Councillor Heard’s proposal, the Officer explained that the Developer was not able to make all the parking spaces larger without interfering with access areas. Members discussed all car parking spaces being the minimum size and the Officer highlighted how there may not be enough space to do this in some areas resulting in the loss of some spaces. Following further discussion, the Officer suggested that should Members be mindful to agree the additional condition proposed this should request that a revised parking layout, with all spaces at least the minimum size, be provided by the applicant for approval. Councillor Heard supported this and amended his proposal accordingly.
The Chairman confirmed that the additional condition would come back to the Chairman of the Committee for ... view the full minutes text for item 342. |
