To consider a request for an Article 4
Direction to be served on The Wellington, which would require that,
to change the use of a public house (class A4) to a retail shop
(class A1), a planning application must be submitted for
consideration.
Decision type: Key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 09/02/2015
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
A petition containing approximately 1800 signatures from the local community is asking for the Wellington Hotel to be protected as a public house as a result of changed ownership and proposals to convert it to a convenience shop by the Co-op. The petition is to be considered at Full Council on 11th Feb and the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Planning is to consider a report on 3rd March concerning the same property and a request for it to be added to the list of Assets of Community Value (This decision must be taken within a statutory timeframe). It would be appropriate for the issue of an Article 4 direction to also be considered at the same meeting.
Decision due: 4 Mar 2015 by Deputy Leader
Lead member: Deputy Leader
Department: Deputy Leader.
