Minutes:
Proposal: Full application for the proposed erection of a single storey structure to form a kitchen with associated fridge/freezer unit plus extension of existing café terrace, installation of an infill canopy over rear entrance and erection of a new 2 metre high metal mesh fence to the southwestern part of the site boundary
Applicant: Martin Breddy
The Committee received and reviewed a report about this application, set out in agenda pages 169 to 190.
The Committee were advised that there were no Members’ Updates.
Martin Breddy, applicant, spoke in support of the application. Martin stated that the proposals represented a modest increase in the site footprint. Martin added that the proposal would allow for a larger kitchen which would improve staff conditions. A canopy would be moved to improve the customer experience, and the fence would be replaced in order to improve security. Martin added that the fencing would be sufficiently landscaped to shield it from view.
Angus Ross stated that the applicant had recently acquired the site and had done much to improve the existing structures.
RESOLVED That application number 193417 be approved, subject to conditions and informatives as set out in agenda pages 170 to 171.
