The Development Manager reported on a full application for the extension of the supermarket at the front (entrance) to the building and to the rear at the Tesco Express supermarket at 32-36 Little Ridge Avenue, Hastings.
The supermarket is located centrally along Little Ridge Avenue and provides a convenience store for residents in the local area. The site of the supermarket also includes a pharmacy and residential accommodation at first floor level. The existing building is detached from other properties and benefits from a parking area and an area of soft landscaping.
The proposed front extension follows the appearance of the existing building with its large gabled roof. It was felt that this approach will ensure that there is no harm to the building or the character of the area. The proposed rear extension has a flat roof and is much smaller. The extension is intended to improve the service/yard area of the store. The scheme would increase the floorspace by a net total of 80sqm and includes revisions to the parking layout, new mechanical plant, a new access to the store from Little Ridge Avenue and revised landscaping.
The main issues considered were the impact of the extension on the character and appearance of the area, the impact on existing businesses and residents, and the impact on highway safety.
Having taken into account all the relevant matters including impact on the character and appearance of the area, impact on existing businesses and local residents, traffic and noise, the Development Manager believed the size of the small extension would not harm any local businesses or local residential amenities. He felt that there would be no harm to highway safety, as levels of traffic would not increase significantly as a result of the larger store. As such, he recommended the application be approved subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Roberts proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Rogers.

The Development Manager reported on an application for conversion to extend two previously approved self contained maisonette flats (approved under reference HS/FA/13/00692) between the ground floor and basement level to create larger maisonettes at 239 Priory Road, Hastings.
The site consists of a two storey building located on a corner plot between Priory Road and Mount Pleasant Road. The surrounding area is predominantly residential including a mix of traditional terraced houses (some divided into flats) and more modern blocks of flats to the north east.
Planning permission was approved on 20 November 2013 for the conversion of former commercial and residential property into 5no. self-contained flats (HS/FA/13/00692). The previously approved plans show 2 flats at ground floor level: a flatlet (living room/kitchen and separate bedroom) and a 2-bedroom flat. The basement was shown as owner’s storage, refuse and cycle store.
This application sought consent to increase the size of the two ground floor flats by locating the kitchens in the basement to create a one bedroom flat and one 2-bedroom flat. A refuse store, cycle store and two separate storage areas will be provided.
Flat 3 will be accessed via the existing entrance from Priory Road. Access to the basement level will be via an internal staircase. Flat 4 will be accessed via the original shop entrance. Access to the basement level will be via an internal staircase.
