Agenda item

The application was for the construction of an outdoor seating area for cafe use, the conversion of window to external service hatch, and window to service door together with the installation of an extract flue to the roof.

The application had been referred to the Planning Applications Committee as the Council owned the land.

It was advised that Condition 9 required the installation and maintenance of planters to the edge of the seating area as shown in plan drawing 1370.100.06 Rev A, in order to contribute towards maintaining the visual amenity of the area.

The officer recommendation to approve the application subject to conditions was proposed by Councillor David Whitcroft, seconded by Councillor Shaun Macdonald, put to the vote and carried.
