The Committee considered the report of the Head of Democratic Services regarding a variation to the consent granted on 30 July 2012.  The variation being sought was to change the dimensions of the stall from 4’x4’ to 4’x6’ and to change the days and hours of operation by adding Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.

The Head of Democratic Services confirmed to Members that no objections had been received in relation to the variation application and that the reason for the increase in the size of the cart was so that an extractor fan could be incorporated which would reduce the impact of any smell arising on the surrounding area.

Members raised some concerns with regard to the length of trading hours requested and felt it would be more appropriate for the hours to match the opening times of the majority of nearby shops.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the variation in respect of the stall size be agreed to allow for inclusion of an extractor fan which would reduce the impact of any smell arising on the surrounding area.

2.  That the variation in respect of Sunday trading be amended to six hours to match the opening times of the majority of nearby shops to the trading site and that the Head of Democratic Services be authorised to set the times in the final consent, as this was considered appropriate to fit into the area of trading.
