Description

Variation of Condition 13 (opening hours) of planning permission ref. 24/01542/VOC, granted on 04 March 2025, which varied Condition 2 (approved plans) of planning permission ref. 16/05063/FUL, granted on 09 March 2017, for the demolition of the existing building and erection of a building including basement to provide commercial, business and service uses (Use Class E) at ground and basement levels with self contained residential flats above. The variation seeks to amend Condition 13 to allow the ground floor commercial unit to be open to members of the public between 07:00 and 20:00 on Mondays to Sundays and Bank Holidays. It is proposed that Condition 13 is varied to read: The use of the premises shall not be open to members of the public other than between 07:00 and 20:00 on Mondays to Sundays and Bank Holidays.
