To receive disclosures of interests from Members and co-opted members on matters to be considered at the meeting. The disclosure must include the nature of the interest.

 

An interest must also be disclosed in the meeting when it becomes apparent to the Member during the meeting.

 

Notes:

 

(1)       Members may remain in the meeting and take part fully in discussion and voting unless the interest is a disclosable pecuniary interest or an interest which the Member feels would call into question their compliance with the wider principles set out in the Code of Conduct.  Disclosable pecuniary interests relate to the Member concerned or their spouse/partner.

 

(2)       Members in arrears of Council Tax by more than two months must not vote in decisions on, or which might affect, budget calculations, and must disclose at the meeting that this restriction applies to them.  A failure to comply with these requirements is a criminal offence under section 106 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. 

 

(3)       Members are also welcome to disclose interests which are not disclosable pecuniary interests but which they consider should be made in the interest of clarity.

 

(4)       Officers must disclose interests in accordance with Council Standing Order 44.

Minutes:

The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “M”.  Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.

 

(a)       24 Bingley Road, Shipley                                    Shipley

 

Full planning application for the change of use from a hair and beauty salon (Use Class A1) to bar (Use Class A4) (re-submission of 17/05818/FUL) at 24 Bingley Road, Shipley - 18/04421/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He informed the Panel that the site was located within a commercial row of units within the Saltaire Local Centre, but not within the Saltaire World Heritage Site Buffer Zone.  He explained that planning permission had been granted, in February 2018, for the site’s use to be changed from A1 to A4 and that the premises had been brought into use by the applicant during the summer of 2018 without three pre-commencement conditions being fulfilled; one related to noise insulation measures (condition 3) and two (conditions 5 and 6) related to an extraction system and flue.  He stated that, as the plans did not include a kitchen area, unfulfilled pre-commencement conditions 5 and 6 were not considered necessary to satisfy at this time.  He stated that the A4 bar use was to be confined to the ground floor of the premises, with customer toilet facilities in the basement and the first floor being restricted to staff welfare and office accommodation for the business. A residential flat would be retained at the second floor level.  One letter of objection and a petition containing 18 signatures had been received against the application which was supported by two Ward Councillors.  64 representations had been received in support.  The main issue raised by the objections related to noise and music from the bar and outside areas.  He did not consider that noise levels from such a relatively small size of A4 use was likely to be a significant cause of loss of amenity for nearby residents. Environmental Protection had raised no objection to the application and were satisfied with the sound insulation installed by the applicant and recommended that the opening hours be restricted to 11.00am-11.00pm, seven days per week, as per the granting of the previous planning permission.  He stated that whilst the hours of operation could be conditioned by the Panel, the noise from the outdoor seating area and live music played from the premises was a licensing, rather than a planning, matter.  He then recommended the application for approval.

 

In response to Members’ questions, the Strategic Director, Place stated that, if the application was approved with the hours proposed, planning permission would be required to amend them in future and that the application site was not within a conservation area.

 

An objector was present at the meeting and made the following points:

 

·         She resided near the site and found it difficult to sleep due to the sound of live music and singing from the bar.

·         She started work early in the mornings and the noise  ...  view the full minutes text for item 41.
