1. In Zones 1 & 2 applicants will need to demonstrate that servicing can be
accommodated without unduly affecting highway safety and the free flow of
traffic.
2. Facilities for hotel non-residents should be assessed by applying the
appropriate category. An allowance should be applied where facilities are to
be shared.
3. The parking requirement will be relaxed for public houses built before 1914 to
permit redevelopment or extension up to a 20% increase in gross floor area
without extra parking being required.
4 The non-operational requirement for restaurants and cafes in established
shopping areas may be relaxed if it can be shown that they are ‘incidental’ to
the shopping area or where such restaurants are used largely in the evening
when adequate parking exists in the vicinity. However, adequate parking for
staff should be provided to the rear/ side.
5. Applicants for hot food takeaways need to demonstrate that customers can
park in the vicinity without detriment to highway safety and free flow of traffic.
6. Restaurants including drive through facilities for ordering and collecting food
by car should have an internal segregated access for this purpose and be
provided with a minimum of 6 waiting spaces.
