Applicant: Mr M Hassan of Fish to Go Ltd

Agent: Mr Colin Stone of Stone Me Ltd

Resolved:-

That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

01 The proposed serviced accommodation, by reason of its location, the prevailing busy highway circumstances close to this site including the delivery circumstances of other commercial uses especially those opposite the site at Nos 21-23 Broadway (Tesco) and No 25 Broadway (Factory Shop) coupled with the absence of any off street parking and/ or on site drop off facilities at the application site would adversely impact on the parking, highway safety and traffic network conditions in this area which would be unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies CP3 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Polices DM1 and DM15 of the Development Management Document (2015).
