Decisions:

The Planning Officer spoke to the terms of the report advising that planning permission was sought for the change of use of hairdressers (class 1) to a café (class 3) within Rosneath.  She advised that the Applicant had recently opened the café so this was now an retrospective Application.  She referred to a supplementary report which provided amended conditions to attach to any consent to take account of this.  The application site is within the settlement boundary as defined by the Argyll and Bute Local Plan where there is a presumption in favour of development subject to all development plan policies being complied with.  It is also within the designated Conservation Area where development must preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area.  One letter of objection with an attached petition, two letters of support and two letters from the Applicant with two petitions have been received.  Environmental Health and the Area Roads Manager both initially recommended refusal of this application but after further discussions with the Applicant issues raised have now been resolved.  It is considered that the proposed development is acceptable in this location and, subject to no cooking on the premises and the provision of appropriate parking, would comply with the overall provisions of Policies LP BAD 1, LP ENV 1, LP ENV 19, LP TRAN 6, Appendix A and Appendix C of the Argyll and Bute Local Plan and it was recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions and reasons detailed in the supplementary report.

 

Decision

 

Agreed to grant planning permission subject to the following conditions and reasons:-

 

1.      The development shall be implemented in accordance with the details specified on the application form dated 26 June 2011 and the approved drawings reference number 1 of 2, location plan, and 2 of 2, existing and proposed layout unless the prior written approval of the planning authority is obtained for other materials/finishes/for an amendment to the approved details under Section 64 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.

Reason: For the purpose of clarity, to ensure that the development is implemented in accordance with the approved details.

 

2.        The use of the premises hereby approved shall be limited to the sale and
consumption of cold food, hot and cold drinks and food re-heated on the premises.

Reason: In order to ensure that there is no cooking on the premises as this will      
require an external flue which will be both visually intrusive and would, through
cooking smells and other odours, detrimentally impact on the amenity of adjoining residential properties and the character of the Conservation Area.

 

3.        Within one month of the date of this consent, a planning application for the two car parking spaces required to service the proposed development shall be submitted. Thereafter, the two parking spaces shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Council as Panning Authority within one month of permission being approved.

 

       Reason: In the interests of road safety.
