Subject: FW: Street Trading Application - Piotr Dudkowski - Vicarage Road, Yalding

Good afternoon,

We understand the KCC have objected to this site and which to see it at least 100m from the junction. This would move it to a location that is always heavily congested with residents parking and there could be no guarantee that any site would be available for the van or for parking for customers. Councillors do not feel that a food van should be situated outside any residential property.

The applicant has made the pizza van available on several consecutive Saturdays in order to establish if there is a viable business and unfortunately due to the parking on Vicarage Road it has on occasion ended up on The High Street and we have received complaints that is it parked outside peoples homes.

The sale of pizza’s has proved very popular with residents and whilst Councillors have concerns about the site, as stated above, Councillors would be willing to look to see if there is a more suitable site that they and residents could support.

Kind Regards

Angela Gent

Clerk to Yalding Parish Council
