Erection of building to accommodate workshop, store and offices associated with existing horticultural use (revised scheme). The parish council's observations were; very concerned about the control of the site and that albeit the proposed building is smaller than included in the original application, still concerned that this will be turned into a dwelling outside the development area of the village; concern that the site will be used for manufacturing, the production of stainless steel frames, mentioned in Mr Chillingworth's report and subsequently as a retail outlet; concerned about the open ended development of this site as a retail outlet given the hours listed as 8 am to 9 pm seven days a week, including Bank Holidays, therefore 365 days a year. If permission is granted could there be a restriction included to control/reduce these hours; there was also a concern regarding the highways if traffic use intensified; the parish council asked that the external lighting be controlled and a condition be included if permission is granted, to control the outside security lighting.
