Decision details

Application 1: Use of ground floor as a mixed retail/restaurant use (sui generis) with new ducting at the rear and retractable awnings to the front and side elevation.

Application 2: Display of 3no. externally illuminated fascia signs measuring 0.3m x 2.5m, 0.4m x 2.8m and 0.3 x 2.5m.

Additional representations were received from 3 local residents (30 June 2018, 7 July 2018 and 9 July 2018).

Late representations were received from the applicant (13.07.2018) and a local resident (16.07.2018).

Councillor Harvey, who had earlier declared an interest in this item, withdrew from the Committee and addressed the Committee in her capacity as a Ward Member to represent residents objecting to the application. She then left the room during consideration of this application.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY:

1.            That Application 1 be refused on the grounds of loss of retail, impact on local residents and their local amenity in respect of noise, vibrations and odours in respect of the proposed kitchen extract duct and the proposed awnings would harm the appearance of the building and fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and appearance of the Pimlico Conservation Area.

2.            That conditional advertisement consent be granted.
