PROPOSAL

Vary condition 7 of 20/02019/FULLN (Retention of central warehouse facility supplying "members only" shops, ancillary members-only shop and storage facility for charity outreach operations) to extend the permitted opening hours of the members-only retail shop to 20:00 hours on Thursdays and Fridays and to 18:00 hours on Saturdays

REFUSED for the reason:

 

1.

The proposal to extend the hours of operation across three days at the site would have the effect of increasing activity associated with a retail operation across a longer period of each day. The additional hours would facilitate increased activity and associated noise levels during three days which are considered to be particularly sensitive to change. Particularly in relation to the living conditions of residents of nearby dwellings. These periods of time comprise Thursday evenings, Friday evenings and Saturdays from the early afternoon through to early- evening. As a consequence of both the increased activity associated with a retail use operating in this rural location, and the location of nearby residential property (1 and 2 New Cottages, and The Cottage, Foxcotte Lane) relative to the noisy activity the proposal would significantly and adversely affect the quiet enjoyment of both internal- and external- private spaces that serve these homes, to the overall detriment of living conditions in those properties. The proposal would be contrary to Policy E8 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).
