The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for approval as detailed in the report.  The key concerns relating to noise and additional traffic/parking issues arising from use of the bakery were explained to Members.  The noise level is expected to be low level but there may be some noise from the ventilation of the bakery room.  An amended noise report and the fitting of a silencer have allayed these concerns from the Environmental Officer.  A detailed parking plan has been submitted and was explained by the Planning Officer.
