DEFERRED

Description of application – Change of use from A1 (retail) to A2 (financial and professional services).

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

Contrary to the statement on page 150 of the report that there were no other Class A2 uses in the parade, it was reported that Unit 2, Donna Alexandra Mews was currently in Class A2 use.  This, however, did not affect the recommendation set out in the main agenda.

It was also reported that condition 4 which sought to restrict the use of the premises to Class A2, was not required.

Members considered insufficient time had been given to marketing the property and sought an increase of the time period from four to six months.

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that the application BE DEFERRED without prejudice to future consideration to seek a further two months’ marketing of the unit for continued A1 use.
