The mezzanine floor hereby approved shall be laid out in full accordance with the drawing no. 6834/14, date-stamped as having been received 6th September 2023, as part of the previously approved PA23/01021/B planning permission. Reason: In the interest of placing appropriate controls with respect to the use of the site. The development hereby approved relates to the following plan, date-stamped as having been received 23rd May, 2024: Drawing No. 6834/16 Rev. A - Site Location Plan. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The PA23/01021/B application has been previously considered to be acceptable and was approved on appeal. From the evidence provided by the applicant, it is clear that condition 4 of the appeal approval as recommended by the Planning Inspector was erroneously attached to the Decision Notice. Its wording clearly countermands the wording of condition 9 of the original ref: 08/02135/A permission affecting the site, and as that has not been previously challenged; and, the site has previously operated lawfully with that condition in place, it is clear that condition 4 serves no purpose and should be removed. There are no other material considerations to take into account in considering this proposal to remove the condition. All other matters were previously considered by the Planning Committee in its decision to refuse the application. Subsequently, the Planning Inspector recommended that the appeal against refusal should be overturned; and, The Minister did so in granting planning permission in her letter dated on 13th May, 2024.
