detrimental to the existing properties.

Members commented that 200 yards away from the site, a garage was selling cars
on the roadside. There was also a public house, theme park and farm park on the
opposite corners of the road. It was felt that this site was a good public amenity,
which was not presenting any harm.
A Member commented that the application was for the sale, servicing and repair of
caravans and motor homes, there was nothing in the application, which referred to
the Café side of the business, which was currently being operated. The Café was
unauthorised, as the usage class was not covered by this application.
The Business Manager Development confirmed that the two businesses had been
separated and discussions were taking place regarding the issue of an enforcement
notice for the Café.
A Member suggested that the conditions for planning consent for the sale, servicing
and repair of caravans and motor homes be delegated to the Director – Growth in
