**Document:** Officer Planning Report **Application:** 06/00479/C — Additional use to provide refreshments to the public **Decision:** Permitted **Decision Date:** 2006-06-15 **Parish:** Lezayre **Document Type:** report / officer_report **Source:** https://planningportal.im/a/80447-lezayre-cumbria-court/documents/1466601 --- # Officer Planning Report ## Planning Report And Recommendations [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Considerations [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Written Representations ### Consultations ## Officer's Report The proposal is to provide a coffee shop within the existing gym complex off the Mooragh Promenade. The applicants are proposing to sell tea coffee and healthy pre-packed snack and then in the future the applicants wish to sell hot and cold food prepared on the premises. The selling of the hot and cold food is not part of this proposal. The properties above the gym are in residential use. The opening hours are broadly in line with the opening hours of the gym. The coffee shop would be complementary use to the existing facility. I do not consider the proposal will intensify the use of the complex to an unacceptable level to impact on the residential properties above the complex. Mooragh Promenade is un-restricted in parking term in the vicinity of the area and is sufficient to accommodate any increase in number of vehicles staying in the area for a longer period of time. Furthermore, the restricted food and drink being provide would limit how long patrons will stay in the area. I therefore do not consider the proposal will be prejudicial to the free flow of traffic using the Promenade. The proposed outdoor seating facility is a relative minor element. I do not consider the proposal will cause any significant disturbance to the neighbouring residential flat above the proposed seating area. On balance I feel the proposal is acceptable. ## Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 08.06.2006 ## Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
