The Planning Officer delivered his report.

The Vice-Chair, in the Chair thanked the officer and invited discussion from the members. 

There was general agreement to the scheme.  Positive comment was made about the extra outdoor use for young people. 

In response to a question about the petition, the Planning Officer confirmed that 14 people had signed it and the issues were:

·        noise disturbance,

·        revenue obtained from additional events and people,

·        problems from additional parking and traffic flow. 

There was also a question concerning control of the hours.  The officer explained that it was difficult to control the hours as the playground next door could be used at any time.  That said, whilst there were no controls on hours by way of conditions, the lack of any artificial lighting provided a natural control of the area, particularly during the winter months.  

There being no further questions or comments from the committee, the Vice-Chair moved that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions contained in the officer’s report.
