Item 7: Proposal Description: Application Reference Number: 19/00619/FUL Date of Decision: 18/07/2019
Condition Number(s): 2: Amend approved plans condition
The application was introduced. During public participation, Jane Marsden (applicant) spoke in support of the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.
Councillor Power spoke in objection to the application as Ward Member and answered Members’ questions thereon.
In summary, Councillor Power made reference to policy MTRA(2) of the Local Plan in relation to commercial growth consistency in town centres and considered that the proposal to increase the kitchen by three times its current size, would result in twice as much food preparation with the premises no longer being a café attached to a shop. Councillor Power stated that the proposal for a continual expansion of out of town shopping in its close proximity to Alresford would have a damaging impact on the town and was also contrary to the Local Plan and policy MTRA(2), therefore she urged the committee to refuse the application.
The Committee proceeded to ask questions and debate the application.
RESOLVED:
The committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report.
