# Officer Planning Report Recommendations

### Officer's Report

1. The site comprises the curtilage of a warehouse on the Middle River Industrial estate (approved under 03/746 – see condition (2) in particular).

2. 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".

3. The proposed use is probably better located on an industrial estate than in a conventional retail area.

4. See Department of Transport's comments requiring 20 parking spaces for staff/customers, and sight lines.

5. I will seek a plan demonstrating that compliance with these requirements is possible.

6. 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.
