The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this application for the Change of use of the property to a Micropub (A4) and stationing of chiller unit on rear flat roof at 80 Queens Road, Hastings.
The Planning Services Manager explained that whilst Environmental Health had not suggested a condition for soundproofing, such a condition had been added anyway, to make sure living conditions for neighbouring residential properties were not affected.
Councillor Scott raised concerns about the cumulative waste from used cigarettes on the street outside the property, and suggested that an informative for a place to dispose of cigarettes in the establishment be had.
Members were informed of several updates to the report:-
Members were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
Councillor Judy Rogers, Ward Councillor for Castle ward spoke in support of the application and supported the recommendation to approve this application. She stated that Queens Road was an area that was depressed, but was making many changes recently, with the opening of many independent businesses. She noted that the establishment would be selling craft beers, and predicted to hold only a maximum of 50 people. She noted that this would lead to a good social hub for people in the area to go and enjoy a drink, and would add to Queens Road in a positive way, putting an unused property in to use.
