The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for change of use from ancillary residential storage to
ancillary storage for public house (retrospective).
The
Committee noted the amendment sheet.
Gavin Cooper (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
Councillor Bick
(Market Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application and
made the following comments:
i.
The site of the business unit alongside social housing
was uncomfortable.
ii.
Over time the business had expanded.
iii.
Environmental Health had been involved to resolve
noise and odour issues.
iv.
Questioned the applicants
assertion that they were good neighbours.
v.
Highlighted a number of retrospective planning applications.
vi.
Stated that neighbours had suggested that the
additional storage was evidence that the business was operating beyond the
micro-brewery level and was supplying for off-site consumption, in
contravention of existing planning regulations.
Ben Walther, Environmental Protection Officer, addressed the Committee
regarding Environmental Health visits to the site. He stated that the source of
the resident’s noise complaint could not be identified but was satisfied it did
not emanate from the ancillary storage area.
The Committee
proposed an additional condition, as suggested by the applicant’s agent,
requiring the use of trolleys to move barrels around the site to reduce the
noise.
This amendment was carried
unanimously.
The Committee:
Unanimously resolved to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers with an amendment to Condition 3.
3. Wooden trolleys shall be
used for the transfer of barrels between the public house and the storage area.
Transfer of barrels between the public house and the storage area shall only
occur between 09:00hrs and 18:30hrs
Reason: To protect the amenity of the adjoining properties. (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policy 4/13).
