The officer identified critical issues as highway safety, impacts on amenities of adjacent properties, and effects on viability of other local operations.
Community Policy 2
The Strategic Plan welcomes and encourages provision of local facilities, shops and services, advising community centres should be accessible to non-car users and re-use existing buildings where possible. The officer noted this supports the proposal as a local service. The mobile, non-permanent nature aligned with encouraging local facilities.
Business Policy 10
Retail is directed to town and village centres except neighbourhood shops in large residential areas. The officer acknowledged this but emphasised the proposal is not a permanent facility or built structure, so policy direction was not strictly applied, focusing instead on actual impacts.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
