Description

The Committee received a report seeking variation to Condition 2 (approved drawings), Condition 3 (External materials), Condition 9 (Roof Details) and Condition 10 (CTMP) of planning permission 17/01868/FUL.

This application was brought before the Planning Committee as it had been called in by Town Ward Councillor, Councillor Neil Dallen.

The Committee noted that there was an update report on this item, which had been published as a supplement to the agenda prior to the meeting. The Planning Officer highlighted that the update report included changes to Conditions 2 and 4 of agenda item 4 (19/01667/LBA), and that subsequent to the publication of the update report it was recommended that condition 2 and 3 of agenda item 3 (19/01397/REM) be similarly amended to provide consistency of conditions for both applications.

Recommendation

An amendment to the recommendations of the report was moved. The proposed amendment placed an additional condition on the application which required that blinds be fitted to the glazed roof and closed between 20.00 hours and the closure of the establishment.

Following consideration, this amendment was agreed and is detailed as condition 14 of the decision below.
