Agenda item - BH2013/03146 - Waitrose Ltd, 130-134a Western Road, Brighton - Full Planning

Removal of trolley bay and creation of 2no trolley shelters and creation of 2no cycle racks within rear car park.

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Removal of trolley bay and creation of 2no trolley shelters and creation of 2no cycle racks within rear car park.

(1)                   The Area Planning Manager, Nicola Hurley, introduced the application and provided an update since the application had been deferred at Committee on 20 November 2013. It was noted that there had previously been a statement of good practice in relation to matters arising from the delivery bay; this had since expired, but would not have been relevant to the application before the Committee. With this in mind the recommendation was unchanged that the Committee grant the application subject to the conditions in the report.

Questions for Officers Debate and Decision Making Process

(2)                   Councillor Hyde noted that residents had asked if the trolley bay could be closer to the building, but in response it was noted the Committee had to determine the application before them.

(3)                   A vote was taken and the Officer recommendation to grant the application was approved on a vote of 7 in favour with 3 against.

117.11  RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration the recommendation and agrees with the reason for the recommendation set out in section 11 and resolved to GRANT planning permission subject to conditions.

Note: Councillors Hamilton and Randall were not present during the consideration and vote on the application.
