1)
The proposed external extension at first floor level and internal modifications throughout the Listed Building would result in a significant increase in the number of people who are able to be accommodated at the premises. This increase in the number of customers would result in a detrimental impact on the existing amenity levels enjoyed by adjoining neighbouring properties, especially in terms of noise impact that would be created from both within and outside of the premises. As such, it is contrary to Council Policy as stated within the Unitary Development Plan (as amended), in particular Chapter 4, Policy CD40, and Chapter 5, Policy H04.
2)
The proposed increase in the number of customers being accommodated within the premises would result in a significant increase in the amount of traffic being generated from the restaurant use and would also overburden the existing on street parking available within the local area. As such, the proposal is contrary to Council Policy as stated in the Unitary Development Plan (as amended), in particular Chapter 12, Policies TR36 and TR39. The proposed increase in the number of customers being accomodated within the Listed Building is an intensification of the restaurant use within a residential area. This intensification is inappropriate by virtue of its scale and traffic generation and would not be welcomed in this local area. As such, it is contrary to Council Policy as given in the Unitary Development Plan (as amended), in particular Chapter 5, Policy H04.
3)
The proposed walkway at the rear of the first floor level would result in undue overlooking of and noise impact on to nearby properties to the detriment of their amenity. Therefore, it is contrary to Council Policy as given in the Unitary Development Plan 2002 (as amended), in particular Chapter 4, Policy CD35.
