It was suggested that in the additional conditions suggested by Environmental Protection, condition 1 should be amended to include refrigeration units being switched off, as well as engines, to reduce likely problems from noise, while vehicles were waiting to deliver, or actually delivering goods.

(1.27pm – Councillor Morgan entered the meeting).

It was proposed and seconded that the application be approved, subject to the conditions listed in the agenda, but with condition 1 amended to a temporary permission for 6 rather than 12 months.

During the further discussion, it was agreed by the proposer and seconder of the motion that the three conditions suggested by the Environmental Protection Officer and listed on page 3 of the report should be added, subject to the amendment noted above, to include the switching off of refrigeration units when delivering or waiting to deliver. 

It was pointed out that the Management Plan required under condition 9 would need to be submitted and approved, and consequently condition 1, which would give a temporary permission for 6 months would need amending to commence the 6 months after the Plan was agreed.  This amendment was agreed by the proposer and seconder.

On being put to the vote, the proposal as amended  was approved, subject to the summary of reasons set out by the Case Officer in the circulated report, and subject also to the following conditions:-

1. The delivery hours hereby permitted shall be discontinued and the store shall revert back to the delivery hours approved under application S10/0069 on or before 6 months from the date of approval of the servicing management plan submitted in respect of condition no.9 of this planning permission.
