| 1. | The proposed change of use is contrary to policy SHP4 criteria (A) and (C) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan; the loss of a retail unit in this location within the secondary shopping frontage would have an adverse effect on the viability and vitality of the area by removing a retail frontage. The loss of the retail frontage would undermine the retail function of this secondary shopping frontage. |
| 2. | There is insufficient detail provided to mitigate the potential harm that the proposed use would have on the retail and residential nature of the area. There have been no details of noise mitigation put forward to prevent the vibrations causing significant adverse effects to the users of the shops and to those inhabiting the residences above in this traditional shopping area. |
| 3. | There has been no detail provided within the application to show that the building, a Grade 2 listed building, is capable of such a use and that any alterations consisting of the erection of weighted punch bags or the provision of mats and/or other equipment would be accommodated without affecting the historic fabric of the building. |
| 4. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
