No more than 5 times per week between the hours of 05:00 and 06:00 and in addition to deliveries made during the hours of 06:00 to 19:00  Having received a report on the matter, together with the officer’s written report update detailing:-

·         An additional informative relating to deliveries

·         Research into operating restrictions on adjoining and nearby sites

·         Additional representation received from local resident

the Committee participated in some debate on the matter.  Concerns were expressed with regard to the noise and disturbance caused to nearby residents and the negative impact this would have to allow deliveries from 5.00 a.m. 

            The Committee

RESOLVED

That the officer recommendation to approve be rejected.

            The Group Head of Planning then gave advice on the options open Members and, following discussion, it was agreed that the variation should be refused on the basis that the proposal would generate unacceptable levels of activity and noise.

RESOLVED

That the application be refused for the following reason:-
