Issue - meetings

[NOTE: The Planning Officer advised the Committee of a proposed additional informative as detailed below;

‘The applicant is reminded that measures should be adopted to ensure that the development should not prejudice highway safety nor cause inconvenience to other highway users. A programme for works, storage of plant and materials and parking for vehicles of site personnel, operatives and visitors should be formulated.’

The Committee considered an application for the erection of a part two storey part single storey replacement building to accommodate wash-room facilities at ground floor level and educational facilities (D1 Use Class) at first floor level in association with the Shah Jahan Mosque following demolition of the existing storage building.

There was a brief discussion regarding whether the new building would exacerbate existing parking issues and whether the hours of use should be limited. It was agreed that limiting hours of use would not be practical and would be considered unreasonable. It was noted that similar activities already took place in the existing building to those that were proposed for the new building.

RESOLVED

That planning permission be granted subject to the recommended conditions.
