Members considered a full application for use as a hotel including single storey and two storey pitched roof extensions (with rooms in the roof) and erection of new two storey (with rooms in the roof) pitched roof bedroom block, submitted by Stephen Rodwell.

Officers updated the committee that they had received an additional concern from a resident regarding noise and disturbance from deliveries, but that there were already proposed conditions to restrict delivery times.

Officers also informed the committee that Condition 17 needed to be replaced with a condition requiring the submission of a detailed methods of works statement.

Mr Gill addressed the committee in support of the application but requested safeguards on noise and privacy, in particular that deliveries did not start until 8.00am instead of 7.30am, and that lighting be kept at a low level to reduce glare.

Mr Phillips, the agent for the applicant, addressed the committee in support of the item and confirmed that they could manage deliveries being received after 8am and agreed that lighting could be kept at a low level so as not to shine into neighbours’ or residents’ windows.

The meeting was adjourned for 5 minutes to investigate what licensing conditions had been imposed on the site in relation to outside events and entertainment. Officers then updated the committee on the conditions that had been imposed by the licensing sub-committee on the premises.

Cllr Macdonald subsequently moved and Cllr Horton seconded a motion to remove condition 25 and on being put to the vote the motion was declared lost.
