REFUSED

Description of application – Change of use from Class A1 Use (shop) to Class A4 Use (micro pub).

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

In regard to Members’ concern about  licensing hours and noise disturbance, the Planning Officer advised that these issues could be addressed via condition.  A requirement to provide a fire exit could be included within the Management Plan.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that the application BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1  The proposed change of use to a micropub in this location will result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to local residents and in the absence of a satisfactory noise management plan would be contrary to Policies 37 and 98 of the Bromley Local Plan (2019).

The following informative was also added:-

1  Please note that if a subsequent application is made for a similar development, details with regard to the fire exit should be included in the management plan.
