Item 1 – 2020/0142/FUL – Ram Jam Inn, Great North Road, Greetham

 

(Parish: Greetham; Ward: Greetham)

 

Mr Darren Burbeary, Senior Planning Officer, addressed the Committee and gave an executive summary of the application, recommending approval.

 

During discussion the following points were noted:

 

      i.        Mr Begy stated there was a desire from residents to keep the two-way access on the site as residents used the access for the petrol station and shop. Residents may feel uncomfortable having to go onto the A1 to get to the petrol station if the one way system was introduced.

    ii.        It was clarified that the development was for two drive-thru units and two drive-to units.

   iii.        As part of the presentation from Mr Burbeary, two-way road plans were shown that members could consider if they were minded to approve a two-way system for the development.

   iv.        Concerns that were raised regarding the design of the buildings had been acknowledged and the buildings would be retaining elements of the old building.

 

Mr Begy proposed that the application be approved with the condition that the development uses the two way route access and tracking shown in drawings J32-3395-PS-506 and J32-3395-PS-500. This was seconded.

 

RESOLVED

 

That application 2020/0142/FUL be APPROVED with the condition that the development uses the two way route access and tracking shown in drawings J32-3395-PS-506 and J32-3395-PS-500.

    ii.        Concern was also raised that with more people working from home, the domestic storage space could be used as an office.
