3 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

3.1 It is proposed to refurbish and extend the current units, to give a total floor area of 3,210sqm of bar/restaurant and members club use. The proposed layout plans are at Appendix C.

3.2 This will include 4 restaurant/café units (1,410sqm) and a members club (1,800sqm) which includes a fish bar, gym, games room, drawing room, bar/pool lounge and changing area. Outdoor seating areas will also be provided. The plans at Appendix D give a breakdown of the floor areas.

3.3 A service/back of house access corridor links kitchen and storage areas with access to the pavilion service lift.

3.4 The restaurant/café units are expected to have a total customer capacity of the order of 430, comprising 80 open air seating and 350 seated/takeaway customers. Up to an additional 430 people could be accommodated in the membersarea, 260 in outside seatingand 170 internally.

3.5 This gives a total customer capacity of 860. It is expected that a total of 120 full and part time staff will be employed, with at most 60 of these on site at any one time.

3.6 Opening hours are expected to be from 08:00 to 01:00 Monday to Thursday, 08:00 to 03:00 Friday and Saturdayand 08:00 to 24:00 on Sundays.

Cycle Parking

3.7 A cycle store area will be providedfor staff.

Servicing and Refuse

3.8 The entire site will be operatedand managed by Soho House, offering certain efficiencies in servicing and refuse operations and management over theuse of the site by separate tenants.

Servicing

3.9 A shared back of houseaccess ensures that food deliveriescan be combined, drinks deliveries will also be coordinated where possible.

3.10 It is expected that typically between5 and 8 deliveries will take place per day, ranging from transit vans up to a 7.5 tonne truck for drinks deliveries. The majority of deliveries will take

place between 08:00 and 11:00 and will be planned to avoid more than 1 vehicleturning up at the same time.

Refuse and Recycling

3.11 A centralised waste room will be provided, with waste and recycling transferred from each unit to this area asrequired.

3.12 A cardboard compactor and glasscompactor will be used to reduce the volume of waste, again offering benefits over the occupation of the site by separate tenants. A lift allows for ready access to street level.

3.13 It is expected that a private waste contractor will be used (likely to be Veolia) with waste collection likely to take place between 08:00 and 10:00 on weekdays and 09:00 to 11:00 on weekends.

4 POLICY

4.1 This sectionsummarises the relevanttransport policies at national, regionaland local level and these are considered in the context of the development of the site and how it complies with those policies.

National PlanningPolicy Framework (March2012)

4.2 Paragraph 32 sets out that:

“All developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment. Plans and decisions should take account of whether:

· the opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up depending on the nature and location of the site, to reduce the need for major transport infrastructure;

· safe and suitableaccess to the site can be achieved for all people; and

· improvements can be undertaken within the transport networkthat cost effectively limit the significant impacts of the development. Development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe.”

4.3 The site has good accessibility to rail and bus servicesand is located close to a largeresidential catchment, hotels and other bars and restaurants, which will ensure that patternsof travel to the site will be sustainable.

Brighton and Hove Local Plan (2005)

4.4 Adopted on the 21 July 2005, the Local Plan aims to improve travel to and within Brighton and Hove. It seeks to limit traffic growth to enable a free flowing network. The Council promotes forms of transport that are less damaging to the environment with lower levels of air and noisepollution.

4.5 The transport policies in the Local Plan have been saved until the adoption of the Local Development FrameworkDocuments.

June 2015

4.6 The following policies complement the proposals in the Local Transport Plan and are relevant to the proposed development.

4.7 Policy TR1 states ‘Development proposals should provide for the demand for travel they create and maximisethe use of public transport, walking and cycling.’

4.8 The additional floorspace is likely to attract little in the way of new trips over and above the existing consented uses on site as the vast majority of customers and members will already be utilising existing restaurant and evening entertainment facilities in the surrounding area and will transfer theirtrade from these existing venues.

4.9 Policy TR7 promotes safe development stating ‘Planning permission will be granted for developments that do not increase the danger to users of adjacent pavements, cycle routes and roads.’

4.10 The layout of the site providesfor good pedestrian access to the lower tier of the development via the terraces, which will act to disperse pedestrian movement between several routesto Madeira Drive and Marine Parade.

4.11 Policy TR14 states: ‘In all proposals for new development and changes of use, applicants shouldprovide facilities for cyclists in accordance with the parkingguidance.’

4.12 Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 4 [SPG4] ‘Parking Standards’ indicates a cycle parking standard of 1 space per 300sqm. Cycle parking is available on-street to cater for customers and it is proposed to provide 12 secure spaces within the site to allow for staff cycle parking.

Proposed Submission City Plan (February2013)

4.13 Within CP9 Sustainable Transport it is set out that the Council will ensure the priorities of the TransportStrategy are deliveredwithin the city by ‘Directing significant development into areas with good sustainable transport links’ and ‘By informing and influencing journey patterns, promoting and encouraging the use of more sustainable transport options, andproviding measures that increase people’s travel options, the council and city can help tackle climate changeand reduce carbonemissions’.

4.14 The accessibility of the site ensures that the proposeddevelopment is in line with this policy.

5 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Summary

5.1 Brighton SeafrontRegeneration Limited along with The Soho House Group proposes to refurbish and extend the bar and restaurant units located adjacent to the Brighton Sea Life Centre to provide restaurants, bars and a members club with a total customercapacity of up to 860. It is expected that a total of 120 staff will be employed.

5.2 It is proposed to refurbish and extend the current units, to give a total floor area of 3,210sqm of bar/restaurant and members club use. This will include 4 restaurant/café units (1,410sqm) and a members club (1,800sqm) which includes a fish bar, gym, games room, drawing room, bar/pool lounge and changing area. Outdoor seatingareas will also be provided.

5.3 Opening hours are expected to be from 08:00 to 01:00 Monday to Thursday, 08:00 to 03:00 Friday and Saturdayand 08:00 to 24:00 on Sundays.

5.4 Though several different restaurants will be offered and a bar and a members club are to be provided, these will all be managed by Soho House, offering certain efficiencies in servicing and refuse management over the use of the site by separate tenants and so it is not expected that the proposals will give rise to any additional service vehicle demand in comparison to the full use of the existing site by separatetenants.

5.5 A shared kitchen area with links to all the restaurant units ensures that food deliveries can be combined and drinks deliveries will also be coordinated.

5.6 A centralised waste room will be provided, with waste and recycling transferred from each unit to this area as required. A cardboard compactor and glass compactor will be used to reduce the volume of waste, againoffering benefits over the occupation of the site by separate tenants. A servicelift allows for ready access to streetlevel.

5.7 The site is in a highly accessible location so it is expected that the majority of both staff and customers will arrive on foot. The pay and display parking controls in the vicinityof the site will also help to discourage privatecar travel to the site.

Conclusion

5.8 The proposed scheme is consistent with national and local transport policy guidance and will give rise to no transport related impacts.

5.9 We thereforeconclude that the planning application proposal is acceptable in traffic and transport terms.
