Answers to Committee Member Questions

2.    Councillor Childs was informed by the case officer that the application site was in a residential area and the opening hours would be restricted by condition to 12 to 10pm, Monday to Saturday. No amplified music would be allowed in the beer garden and the only objections received related to opening hours.

Debate

3.    Councillor Yates noted that a previous permission had passed the three year time limit to implement the permission. The site was in a very central position in the city, and the development was relatively small. The license allowed the pub to operate in a residential area and the proposals were an valuable improvement to the amenity of the pub.

4.    Councillor Gibson considered it was good for patrons to go outside and the application was reasonable.

6.    RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to APPROVE planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives as set out in the report.
