Agenda item

To consider the planning application and recommendations of the Chief Executive, (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

Following the Officer’s presentation of the report, Members noted that the Parish Council objected to this application on the basis of insufficient parking and other issues and some Members were in support of this view.  The premises had been empty for some time and some Members believed that this development would be beneficial to the village. 

In response to concerns raised regarding parking, the Group Manager for Planning Services advised that Members must consider demonstrable harm.  Delivery lorries would be able to park in the street, but this was no different to deliveries that had occurred when the building was used as a post office.  Although some car praking had been removed from the rear of the building, the ability for it to remain an A1 unit remained.

Councillor Beale requested that his decision not to vote on this application be recorded.
