# Officer Planning Report

## Application No: 0517 ### Planning Report and Recommendations #### General Report **Site Visited:** YES/NO 1. The site is defined as the "footprint" of a block of garages on any street, at the corner of Allan Street. 2. The application seeks to use the garages (any or all) for "private and/or commercial vehicle parking." 3. The most appropriate use would be as domestic garages by local residents. There is a self-evident shortfall in parking space in the surrounding area area. 4. However, there appears to be a history of use by office workers (at least for 5 out of 6 of the garages). **Signed:** 1844 **Date:** 9.7.03 #### Summary of objections/views - LA - no objections - HA - defer for further consideration #### Recommendations **Approve/Refuse** See also 02/10/94 - and in particular the Note attached to the approval. We have taken the view that permission is necessary; in that case, we should refuse permission for commercial vehicle parking. **Signed:** 1844 **Date:** 10.7.03 [Table omitted in markdown export]
