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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Hours of operation
The premises may be available for the consumption of food on the premises or for the serving of hot food between the hours of 08:00hrs and 17:00hrs Tuesday through to Friday inclusive; between 08:00hrs and 16:00hrs on a Saturday and 09:00hrs and 14:00hrs on a Sunday. REASON: in order to control any potential impact on those living close to the site. The property already has permission for retail sales at the ground floor and as such there should be no further controls over the sale of cold food for consumption off the premises above the current situation which has no hours of operation limitations.
