The Committee discussed the applications.
RESOLVED:
1. That application N/2012/1093 be approved subject to conditions.
2. That application N/2012/1093 be refused for the reasons:
(1) The total development, by reason of its scale, massing and general design would form a strident and incongruous feature that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the locality. The Proposal therefore fails to accord with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework and Local Plan Policies E20 and H6.
(2) Due to the nature of the use, the proposed development would lead to general noise and disturbance into the late evening / early morning to the detriment of local residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers contrary to the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.
