Application Number: 19/0309 - 6-28 Princess Way, Camberley, GU15 3SP

Minutes:

The application was for removal of canopies from retail properties on Princess Way to facilitate major Public Realm works. (Amended plans rec'd

17.04.2019)

 

This application would have normally been determined under the Council's Scheme of Delegation. However, it was reported to the Planning Applications Committee as the applicant was the Council.

 

The Committee showed concern as to the loss of lighting provision, which was currently provided by the canopy, and the potential resulting effects on public health and safety. Moreover it was noted the canopy provided shelter and acted as a sunshade to the south facing shops, which allowed access to the retail units year round.

 

Members were advised of the following updates:
