Officer's Report

The proposal is set within the established nursery. The proposed tunnels are well sited with the existing tunnels. The tunnels are set well back from the public highway and would be well screened. I do not consider the proposal would adversely affect the character or appearance of the area. The tunnels would be set a significant distance from any residential property and would not adversely affect the residential amenity.

The nursery currently has an area of devoted to the sale of plants. This area is currently open to the elements. The proposed tunnels are intended to provide shelter for plants, which area grown on site, and customers. The proposal is not intensifying the retail element of the site. I therefore do not consider the proposal would impact on the vitality and viability of the existing retail area.
