Minutes:
Item 1 Application 0396/17 Proposal Outline Planning Permission sought for a proposed retail store development within class A1 use. Creation of new access, parking, servicing, and landscaping. Site Location STOWMARKET – Land at Gipping Way, IP14 1EJ Applicant British and Continental Estates Limited and Beachshow Ltd.
It was noted that comments had now been received from the Suffolk County Council Flood and Water Team who had recommended additional conditions.
Councillor Lesley Mayes, Ward Member, commenting by email said that she considered the existing footbridge, which was in a very bad state of repair, was removed completely and the riverbank made good on both sides of the river.
Councillor Paul Ekpenyong, commenting by email, also felt that the removal of the footbridge should be conditioned as it provided access to the rear of the proposed retail premises giving a potential for possible criminal activities.
Officers advised that the bridge was not within the application site or the control of the applicants but an informative could be included requesting that the owner be contacted if possible and the intentions for the footbridge ascertained.
Members fully supported the proposal but requested that the condition restricting the type of goods to be sold to bulky goods be removed as it was felt that in view of its proximity to the town centre any retail on the site would be of benefit.
A motion to approve the application subject to the addition of the suggested Flood and Water Team conditions and the removal of the condition relating to restriction on bulky goods was proposed and seconded.
