201585/FUL - Change of use from an estate agent use class E to a restaurant and hot food takeaway sui generis use class. 

201586/ADV - Fascia and a projecting sign.

The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above applications.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which provided further information on public notifications, proposed an amended delivery/waste collection times condition and gave details of further objections received and officer comments.  The update report also set out a statement from one of the objectors.

Comments and objections were received and considered.

Objectors Evelyn Williams and Richard Bennett, and Ward Councillor Karen Rowland attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this application.

Resolved –

That consideration of applications 201585/FUL and 201586/ADV be deferred: to allow time for public notification of 201585 and comments to be made; in order for more information to be provided regarding the relevant policy requirements in the local plan and the recent changes to use classes; to explore whether any of the conditions from the 2014 consent at the property could be attached to the current application and for more information on noise and smells, including the referenced noise and odour risk assessments.

(Councillor Rowland declared a prejudicial interest in the above application on the grounds of predetermination.  Nature of interest: Councillor Rowland lived on Zinzan Street, which joined Oxford Road at the property.  She made a statement to the Committee as Ward Councillor and took no further part in the debate or decision.)
