Decision (including reasons if
different from those set out in report):
public
nuisance, public
safety, and protection of children from harm).
Simon Tong (Agent, representing
the Applicant) began by stating that the
intention was to operate a café concurrently with a car
showroom which shared the same building. It was submitted that the
café would offer customers an additional experience for the
car showroom customers, and also members of the public, to enjoy
light refreshments and drinks including hot and alcoholic drinks.

of alcohol were. Mr Tong informed the Sub-Committee that the
outside area would be used for customers when the weather was good

would be seated indoors. Mr Tong clarified that the outside area
was defined as per the Land Registry plan, however the Applicant
would not be using the whole of this area. The Sub-Committee noted
that there was no physical barrier as such between the café
and the car showroom. Mr Tong added that car showrooms did not
