Full Application - Proposed change of use of existing buildings, extensions to existing buildings and provision of new access to the site at Bradfield Brewery, Watt House Farm, Loxley Road, Sheffield, Bradfield

Reason:Reason for site visit: To allow Members to assess the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area.

Minutes:

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

Members suggested that consideration should be given to the material used to surface the new access road and ways to screen the road.  It was agreed that an additional condition with details of the surface and screening would be added.

 

Following the site visit Members considered that the some areas of the site needed to be tidied and that clarification in condition 6 should be added to ensure storage is appropriate to the site.

 

The Officer confirmed that the Parish Council and Highways Authority (Sheffield City Council) had not responded to the consultation.

 

Members requested the inclusion of a Transport Plan in the conditions to ensure that heavy good vehicles use the new access road, that permitted development rights be removed and that condition 5 be amended so that the brewery shall remain in the same ownership and control as Watt House Farm.

 

The Officer recommendation for approval subject to changes to the conditions was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
