- View the declarations of interest for item 79.
Minutes:
Proposal: Temporary location of mobile service providers.
The Planning Officer introduced the report and advised that the application was for the use of parts of the car park for the parking of a mobile banking unit. This could currently operate for 28 days per year without planning permission however, it was hoped the proposal would have a positive impact on the town and so the application was for unrestricted use.
Councillor Derek Yeomans requested that the vehicle should not park on the York stone paving near to the library as it could damage the paving.
The Neighbourhood Development Officer confirmed that this could be included in the license agreement and the Planning Officer agreed to add it as an informative.
Members were supportive of the proposal and on being put to the vote, it was unanimously approved.
