Minutes:
Members considered a full application for the use of public highway for outside seating in connection with the Café use of 16 Davygate, submitted by Nero Holdings.
Officers updated the committee that the location site for the application was on the New Street Frontage to the property and not the Davygate and that the type of furniture to be used if approval be granted, would need to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Environmental Protection Unit reiterated that the hours of use should be 10.30 am – 4.00pm (Monday – Saturday) and 12.00pm – 4.00 pm (Sunday and Bank Holiday).
Members raised concerns about the distance between this proposed area and the other outdoor areas further along New Street and the lack of consultation with disabled groups. Members expressed concern about the size of the area requested as it appeared to small to accommodate furniture and also had concerns about the camber of the footway.

RESOLVED: |
That the application be refused. |

REASON: |
The proposed development, by virtue of the proposed number of tables and chairs on New Street would be detrimental to highway safety. The proposed development is therefore unacceptable and is refused in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Town and Country Planning Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which states that local planning authorities must determine planning applications in accordance with the statutory Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. |
