The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for the conversion of ground floor commercial unit into two commercial units involving the installation of a new shop front (part-retrospective) be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report.

Arising from the discussion members noted the potential harm for the in combination effect of one bedroomed accommodation being created though permitted development, and as a precautionary measure thought it was appropriate to add a condition that prevented the creation of such units through the permitted development regime.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendation be approved and the application be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report and in Late Representations and subject to an additional condition restricting Permitted Development rights to create any residential dwellings at the property, the final wording being delegated to the Chief Planning Officer.
