No.Condition Text
1.The activities hereby approved shall be undertaken by Centre 81 across not less than 75% of the floorspace of the building the subject of this permission, as shown in general terms within the submitted indicative Ground Floor Plan, received on 01 March 2021 under application ref. 06/20/0698/CU, unless otherwise first agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. Any use of the premises or its curtilage by any other operator as an incidental use shall not exceed 25% of the respective floorspace areas. The reason for this condition is:- This permission is granted despite the proposal being in some respects contrary to the development plan and is for a form of development which is unique to the proposal of the applicant, and alternative uses within the same use class would not normally be permitted by the Local Planning Authority in this location. The restriction is duly imposed for the avoidance of doubt and in order to retain control over the use of the site.
2.Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Use Classes Order 1987 (as amended) (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) the premises shall only be used for the service delivery of the applicant, Centre 81, comprising: - a day centre (for skills and activities development), - community meals provision, - community transport services, and, - vocational training facility, as described within the submitted document entitled: "Change of Use- Planning Permission Supplementary Information", received by the Local Planning Authority on 01 March 2021 under application ref. 06/20/0698/CU, and for no other use whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of a Day Centre shall be as that provided within the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, as amended, and specifically: " "day centre" means premises which are visited during the day for social or recreational purposes or for the purposes of rehabilitation or occupational training, at which care is also provided." And, incidental uses, as limited by condition 1, which can include: - Office space - within Class E(g). - Activity hub/holiday club for disabled children- within Class E(f). - Storage of equipment for local groups/charities- within Class B8. - Storage of equipment for light industrial usage- within Class B8. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the use of the building and land is appropriate to the setting and location within an industrial estate / employment area, and to ensure the vocational training offered maintains the premises' compliance with adopted policy CS6, to enable the Local Planning Authority to retain control over the use of the premises, to control development within designated employment areas, and to secure sustainable economic growth in appropriate locations.
3.The development hereby permitted shall accord with the details of the proposed Site Layout and Parking Plan and definitive final Ground Floor Layout Plan, as approved under application ref. 06/22/0170/CD, detailing the intended arrangements for use of the building and the use of the curtilage, external layout and the intended parking arrangements. The parking quotas to be provided shall have regard to the submitted draft layout shown in the site parking layout aerial photograph received on 12th February 2021. Thereafter, the proposed accesses, on-site car parking, and manoeuvring/turning area must be retained in accordance with the approved plan. The reason for the condition is:- To ensure the provision and permanent availability of adequate on-site parking and turning/manoeuvring facilities for the development and the activities proposed within the floor plan, and to ensure that vehicles may enter and leave the site in a forward gear in the interests of highway safety and providing a satisfactory development, and to ensure satisfactory provision of on-site parking and external facilities to meet the needs generated by this unique development.
4.No goods or materials shall be stored outside the building at any time, unless express permission has first been obtained in writing from the Local Planning Authority. The reason for the condition is:- In the interests of protecting the amenities of the occupiers of adjacent premises and the visual amenities of the locality, and to ensure the retention and availability of the approved car parking areas and turning / manoeuvrability areas in the interests of highways safety.
5.The development shall at all times be operated in accordance with the travel arrangement proposals set out within the submitted document entitled: "Change of Use - Planning Permission - Supplementary Information", received by the Local Planning Authority on 01 March 2021, including the operation and provision of community minibus transport as the principle mode of access to the site for users of the centre, and to include the active promotion of sustainable travel means rather than encouraging private car use by visitors. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that the development is as sustainable as possible and to minimise the need for visitors to park within the surrounding streets in the interests of highways safety and compatibility with neighbouring uses and the prevailing activities of the surrounding employment area.
6.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- 1. Any material alterations to be made to the building may in themselves require express planning permission and will also need to be demonstrated to meet the necessary requirements of the current Building Regulations 2010 - Approved Document B (Volume 2 - 2019 edition) as administered by the Building Control Authority. In particular, the change of use will require a fire risk assessment to be undertaken for the new use and any remedial action needed to be undertaken as part of an action plan; guidance for this is available from the HM Government Guide 'Fire Safety Risk Assessment for Small and Medium Places of Assembly'. Great Yarmouth Borough Council's Building Control Services will be pleased to advise further. 2. Any proposed new food business at the premises must be registered with the Environmental Health Department at least 28 days before use commences. There are a limited number of exceptions to this rule and the proprietor is advised to contact the Environmental Health Department (Tel 01493 846367) at the earliest opportunity to obtain advice and a registration form. 3. The applicant is advised that by virtue of being a 'sui generis' use, the mixed use hereby permitted will not be permitted to make any alterations or extensions to the building through the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015, and as a result any proposed alterations, amendments or extensions will require the express permission of the Local Planning Authority. Furthermore, by virtue of the restrictions imposed by Condition 5, any proposals for storage or provision of temporary structures or buildings within the curtilage of the site will also need express planning permission. Great Yarmouth Borough Council will be pleased to advise on any such proposals at 'pre-application' stage, to expedite as smooth a process as possible, in due course. Some of the factors which would be considered for such proposals include: ensuring there is appropriate circulation, turning, loading and parking areas; ensuring that the uses proposed are in keeping with the scale of employment activities within the area; ensuring the activities / buildings are appropriate to protect the amenities of the occupiers of the adjacent businesses; and, maintaining the principal activities of the site as an employment park / industrial estate in line with the expectations of policy CS6.
7.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner.
