General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design, not adversely affect townscape character, amenity, road safety, or parking. Officer assessed the minor porch, canopy, rooflights, and door changes as sympathetic, not significantly altering the brick/render/slate building amid ongoing site works.
Community Policy 2
New community facilities should reuse underused buildings, serve locals, and be accessible to non-car users. The tea room reuses part of the underutilised hall with poor facilities, in a sustainable town centre location with public transport and shared car park.
Transport Policy 7
Requires appropriate car parking. Tea room parking need is less than current Class 4.3 community use (akin to assembly/leisure standard of 1 space/15sqm); shared car park underused daytime, good pedestrian access.
Environment Policy 35
Cited in conclusion as accorded with; officer noted alterations do not adversely affect Conservation Area character.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
