Full Application - Restricted use of an existing outbuilding as a tea room and to use the garden to serve teas and cakes at Ivy Cottage, Dale Head, Lydgate, Eyam S32 5QU

Minutes:

Members had visited the site on the previous day.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the report and informed Members that the site had been used as a Tea Room since 2017 so the application was therefore partly retrospective.  Whilst on the site visit, Members had met one of the neighbours who clarified that they had no objection to the proposal now that they had seen the revised plans, and the Planning Officer also informed Members that since the report was published a further letter of support had also been received.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

Ms Kathleen Hall, Applicant

 

The Members considered that the proposal was low level use in a quiet area of Eyam and that the only neighbour affected had no objections.

 

 

A motion to approve the application subject to conditions so that the tea room as proposed on the approved plans would only operate on a Sunday between 11am – 5pm and would remain ancillary to Ivy Cottage.

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

To  APPROVE the application contrary to the Officer recommendation, was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried, subject to the following conditions:-

 

1.    The operating hours would be between 11am-5pm on Sundays.

2.    Development shall be carried out in accordance with the amended plans.

3.    The use as a tea Room would remain ancillary to Ivy Cottage.

 

 

The meeting was adjourned at 11:13am for a short break and reconvened at 11.22am
