There is no reason why the proposal should impact significantly on amenity given the conditions limiting opening hours and the type of cooking equipment. This explanation is only intended as a summary of the reasons for grant of planning permission.

All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 10 LOCATION AND PROPOSAL The application site consists of a shop unit that occupies part of the ground floor of a 6 storey building. The upper floors are used for offices and the rest of the ground floor is occupied by a bar and a lobby to the offices. To the north there are offices and an opticians, the Leopold Hotel is located on the opposite side of Leopold Street. The premises are currently used for offices providing information to the public. The application is seeking permission to use the premises as a café/restaurant. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY Planning permission was granted in April 2007 for alterations to the shop front to provide improved disabled access to the building, planning permission 07/01034/FUL. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS One representation has been received which is in support of the proposal. The comments are that the proposal would serve the many office workers nearby. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Policy The application site lies within a Business Area as defined on the Unitary Development Plan Proposals Map. Business uses (class B1) are preferred but food and drink outlets are acceptable, policy IB7. Policy IB9 states that changes of use in Business Areas should not lead to a concentration of uses which would prejudice the dominance of business in the area. In this case the existing use, which is an information centre, is probably partly a Business use (B1) and partly a Professional Service office (class A2). The floorspace to which the application relates is only 140 sqm. Given the limited floorspace affected, it is concluded that if the change of use were permitted, business uses will still remain dominant in the area. Therefore there is no reason to resist this proposal on the basis of this policy. The application site lies in the City Centre Conservation Area. However, as there are no external changes proposed it will not impact on the character of the conservation area. Core Strategy Policy CS3 identifies the City Centre as a location for Office Development. However the site does not fall within one of the priority office locations, identified in Policy CS4. It lies within the Heart of City quarter, which is intended to provide shopping and visitor facilities, CS17. It is concluded that there are no Core Strategy Policies that would preclude this proposal. 11 Amenity Issues Policy IB9 states that changes of use will be permitted provided that they do not cause residents or visitors in any hotel to suffer from unacceptable living conditions. There are no residential uses near the site. The Leopold Hotel is directly opposite the site and there are a number of food and drink uses within the same complex which are closer to the hotel than the application proposal.
