Planning and Development Additional documents: Minutes: The following application was considered by the Committee:-

Minutes: The Committee had regard to the contents of the Amendment Sheet.
The report was summarised for the benefit of the Committee and the following points arose from questions and discussion:-
1. Conditions would require the applicant to submit a Method Statement detailing how they would restore the pub and a site contract to show work on the pub prior to first occupancy; 2. There were trigger points at each stage should work on the pub not progress. Non-compliance would result in investigation as an enforcement matter; 3. It was noted that CAMRA did not support the application and disputed the applicant’s viability report; 4. The pub had been closed for 5 years after the last landlord could not pay the rent as it was no longer viable. It has since fallen into disrepair and the costs of bringing it into use increased all the time; 5. It had been marketed in the last 5 years and there had been interested parties but there had been no other offers since January 24; 6. DM6 was not relevant as the pub was not being lost and was not therefore a material planning consideration; 7. The loss of some of the garden would equate to £1500 per week, but the increase in garden covers on the revised plans would approximately half this. Also, the landlord would now live above the pub so not incur costs elsewhere;
8. The value of the refurbishment cost was not a material planning consideration but had been considered by officers in the overall balance, which included looking at the potential for it to happen and giving it the best chance of not falling into disrepair. Officers were mindful of having a deliverable decision; 9. An independent study had found that the only way to make the pub viable was through development; 10. The Public Rights of Way team were content that the nearby PROW be extinguished as it ran into a brick wall and would be a place for crime or ASB. There were safer routes to walk around that area; 11. There would still be up to 54 covers in the garden if redeveloped; 12. The development would also shield nearby flats from noise which had previously caused harm; 13. Less than 10 dwellings did not meet the threshold for affordable housing; 14. The new flats would be subject to the Agent of Change provisions so that occupiers were clear in advance they could not complain; 15. The quality of insulation was acceptable and would mitigate noise concerns; 16. 1 flat would have a private garden and the other 5 would share a communal garden. There was good Bio Net Gain. Tree shrubs and planting was included which would increase shade and the development would provide a 20% reduction in carbon emissions; 17. An ecology report was deemed not necessary as there was not much ecology there. A condition could be included regarding protecting species and moving them to a wildlife corridor; 18.
