[To consider the planning application]

The Committee considered a report regarding 18/01260/FUL, extension of existing food retail store with associated alterations to existing car parking, access, servicing & landscaping.

Tracey Homfray, Planning Officer, reported the following updates to the report since it had been published:

• A transport assessment report had been received but failed to address all concerns raised,
• Two further letters had been received – 1 against, 1 supporting.

Mr Ryley addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the

application.

Mr Bryden addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application. In response to a statement made by the Planning Officer he said that the required transport information was submitted in October 2018.

Members of the Committee expressed concerns regarding the application and felt that the proposals were unacceptable.

Resolved:

That planning application 18/01260/FUL be refused for the following reasons:

• Insufficient detail/information with respect to Transport Statement to consider Highway and Pedestrian Safety;
• Urban Design and Character/Appearance of Street Scene;
• Neighbouring Amenities.
