Officer's Report
- The site comprises the curtilage of a warehouse on the Middle River Industrial estate (approved under 03/746 – see condition (2) in particular).
- The application proposes change of use to: "the hire, repair, and storage of small tools and equipment, and the sale of associated products, together with associated offices".
- The proposed use is probably better located on an industrial estate than in a conventional retail area.
- See Department of Transport's comments requiring 20 parking spaces for staff/customers, and sight lines.
- I will seek a plan demonstrating that compliance with these requirements is possible.
- See drawing number 03/171/1(A) received 24th May. This shows a parking layout for twenty cars and the sight lines required. I understand that there is now a Bond ensuring completion of the estate road.
The principal issue is that of controlling the extent and nature of the retailing.
