TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF PETITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COUNCIL'S PETITION SCHEME Minutes: 75.1 The Governance Officer advised the Committee that a valid petition, with 233 signatures, had been received in respect of application DC/21/03644 as follows:
“We the undersigned petition the Council to We would like the planning committee to reject the plans in application DC/21/03644 to convert the ground floor of ‘The Cyclist’ in Ballingdon into a shop/private flat.
Our local community has always had somewhere to come together. This is our last chance to keep something. The current owners of the building have been granted permission to convert the upstairs into private flats and build homes in the garden, but this latest application goes too far, removing more of the space from the community forever. We feel this is just a plan to eventually convert the entire building to private residential use. The change to a Shop also could impact on our much loved convenience store, Strawberry Stores. The venue has been central to forming a sense of community in recent years and should not be lost. We feel the venue can be made to be profitable and would be interested in running it as a community project.”

The development hereby permitted shall be begun not later than the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
Reason - To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
2. APPROVED PLANS & DOCUMENTS
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the drawings/documents listed under Section A above and/or such other drawings/documents as may be approved by the Local Planning Authority in writing pursuant to other conditions of this permission or such drawings/documents as may subsequently be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority as a non-material amendment following an application in that regard. Such development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with any Phasing Plan approved under Section A, or as necessary in accordance with any successive Phasing Plan as may subsequently be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development pursuant to this condition.
Reason - For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper phased planning of the development.
POSITIVITY STATEMENT The proposal has been assessed with regard to adopted development plan policies, the National Planning Policy Framework and all other material considerations. The NPPF encourages a positive and proactive approach to decision taking, delivery of sustainable development, achievement of high-quality development and working proactively to secure developments that improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area. While the applicant did not take advantage of the service, the Council provides a pre-application advice service prior to the submission of any application. The opportunity to discuss a proposal prior to making an application allows potential issues to be raised and addressed pro-actively at an early stage, potentially allowing the Council to make a favourable determination for a greater proportion of applications than if no such service was available.
INFORMATIVES You are reminded that the carrying out of building works requires approval under the Building Regulations in many cases as well as a grant of planning permission. If you are in doubt as to ... view the full minutes text for item 80.
