Report of the Chief Planning Officer

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for the change of use from Class E to a drinking establishment (Sui Generis) with the provision of outdoor seating and live music be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report.

 

Arising from the discussion, Members expressed concern in respect of highway safety, reporting that the shopping parade was used as short cut between Harris Drive and Hawthorne Road putting pedestrians at risk, and barriers on the site had to be replaced due to recent collisions from vehicles.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That consideration of the application be deferred to enable the Chief Planning Officer to hold further discussions with the applicant regarding how the proposal could be made safer both for the customers using the outdoor space and pedestrians using the shopping parade.
