Item C, page 54	32 Varndean Gardens, Brighton BN1 6WL	BH2024/01184	Updates to Officer Report: Paragraph 3.1: To reflect that the concurrent application for a Lawful Development Certificate for an Existing Use (reference BH2024/01657) has been refused. The reason for refusal was: Based on the evidence submitted, it is considered that the application has failed to demonstrate that the swimming pool has been used for the provision of private swimming lessons in addition to its domestic use for a period of at least ten continuous years up to the date of the application submission, and as such is not lawful under section 171B (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Item C, page 54-55	32 Varndean Gardens, Brighton BN1 6WL	BH2024/01184	Additional Public Representations: Two additional letters of support have been received. In addition to the points already summarised in the officer report, these representations raise that: - The pool is a more suitable temperature for babies than the (colder) public pools - The facility is conveniently located - Getting young children swimming should be supported
Item C, page 56	32 Varndean Gardens, Brighton BN1 6WL	BH2024/01184	Additional paragraph after 9.3: The use of the pool for the provision of swimming lessons would go some way towards furthering the aims of policy CP17 of the City Plan Part One to increase participation in sports and physical activity.
