RECOMMENDATION: Grant planning permission subject to conditions. |
Neil McClellan the Area Planning Manager informed members about the following undertakings made by the applicant;
(i) To submit an I-Trace survey which would monitor movements to and from the site to ensure that the agreed travel plan was complied with.
(ii) The front forecourt would be used for drop-off only and would not be used for permanent parking, apart from one dedicated space for disabled parking.
(iii) The approved Noise Mitigation Strategy measures would be undertaken on an ongoing basis.
(iv) The services within the centre were usually on Thursday evenings between 7.30pm and 10.00pm and Fridays between 12 noon and 2.00pm with additional meetings for festivals
The Area Planning Manager recommended a further condition requiring the survey information to be submitted prior to August, thus allowing 3 months for the submission of data. As this was a requirement of the previous planning permission but was not complied with, failure to comply again could lead to enforcement action and ultimately prosecution. He continued that in order to prevent the outbuilding from being used as living accommodation a new condition 14 had been recommended.
