Agenda item

The Planning Officer explained that a separate application would be needed for new signage on the building.

A comprehensive management plan had been submitted by the applicant and the Environmental Health Officer had no objections to the application.

The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme:

• David Graham, Objector
• Cllr H Rodgers, on behalf of Parish Council, Objector

Members requested that in addition to a condition regarding the storage of bins a restriction is added on the size of trade bins used by the restaurant and that bins are only stored within the specified storage area.

Members were concerned regarding the venting from the kitchen and the cooking smells which would impact on the buildings situated close to the rear of the premises and the disruption to the amenity of the residents of these buildings.

Members requested that a change be made to the condition regarding the on site accommodation to include occupation by manager or employee.

Members were concerned regarding the condition regarding live music on the premises but the Planning Officer confirmed that the applicant had no intention of having live music at the venue and this would be covered by separate legislation if a change were to occur.

A motion to defer the application for officers to seek clarification on parking, the positioning of the flue and the size and screening of the bin area.  The motion was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the application be DEFERRED for further discussion with the applicant to address concerns over potential disturbance, bin storage, parking, noise and odour issues.

Cllr Patrick Brady declared a personal interest for this item as he knew the family of the applicant.

Cllr Jamie Macrae left the meeting following consideration of this item.
