DMD 35 Banqueting Suites
The Council will support proposals for the provision or expansion of banqueting suites in appropriate locations. Preferred locations include retail parks and the upper floors in town centre buildings, or other similar locations that are accessible by a range of sustainable transport modes and where the impact on residential areas is minimised. Banqueting suites provided as part of a dual use development incorporating a conference suite or integrated with a hotel complex will be supported in appropriate locations.
Planning Permission will only be granted if the proposal meets all of the following criteria. Development must:
- Have no impact on neighbouring residential properties in terms of noise and disturbance;
- Have adequate servicing arrangements and does not result in an increase of on-street parking and traffic congestion in the surrounding area; and
- Comply with opening and closing times set out in the Appendix 5: ‘Commercial Opening Hours’.
Proposals for banqueting suites on Strategic Industrial Locations (SIL) and Locally Significant Industrial Sites (LSIS) will be refused.
This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy Policy 6.
