Planning committee

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the vacant unit could be reused without significant harm to the area, neighbours or highway safety.
  • A neighbour raised concerns about traffic, parking, early opening hours and noise.
  • The committee approved the application after the local member referenced flood concerns that had been addressed.
