TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mrs Caroline Duncan, Ref 24/00304/B, for the Conversion of building from a bakery into Industrial, (Class 2.3), Storage, (Class 2.4) and Office, (Class 1.2 & 2.1) units at Former Ramsey Bakery Station Road Ramsey IM8 2LF .
Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).
Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Reason: To safeguard the amenities of prospective occupiers and to ensure the development complies with Environment Policy 10 of the Strategic Plan.
All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the units, whichever is the sooner.
Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.
Reason: To provide adequate safeguards for the ecological species existing on the site and as the landscaping of the site is an integral part of the scheme and must be implemented as approved.
Reason: the parking provision is considered acceptable on the basis of the floor area of the proposed units as shown in the submitted plans.
This approval relates to the following plans and documents:
This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) Overall, it is considered that although the inclusion of office uses within the scheme does not comply fully with the zoning of the site which is for industrial use, and the requirements of Business Policies 5 and 7 of the Strategic Plan, the overall proposed use is in keeping with the zoning of the site, and the Office use is not significantly different from the existing neighbouring uses which are situated within the adjacent town centre properties. It is also considered that the proposal by reason of the location, the availability of parking spaces and acceptable amenity impact on the neighbouring properties is considered to be acceptable. The development is, therefore, considered to comply with the requirements of Business Policy 1, Strategic Policies 1, 5, 6, and 10, Spatial Policy 5, General Policy 2, Transport Policies 4 and 7, and Environment Policy 4 of the Strategic Plan.
