Received 24.11.2025: PROPOSED FIRST FLOOR PLAN Rev. 'A'

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) It is proposed that several conditions are used to control the development in the interests of amenity and highway safety. These conditions are necessary, relevant, reasonable and enforceable and have been agreed with the Applicant. An off-street car parking space would be kept available. The small scale and low impact of the operation would be ensued by limiting its physical extent within the building, by keeping the number of customers at any time to one, by restricting working hours to the day time and by making the approval of the proposal for the benefit of the owner / occupier of the application site only. With those conditions in place, the proposed change of use would be compliant with all relevant planning policy and acceptable in every respect. The planning application should therefore be approved and planning permission for the change of use granted.
