Planning application

33 Newgate Beccles Suffolk NR34 9QB

Withdrawn East Suffolk DC/20/1139/PN3 Part 3 GPDO Prior Notification

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

Prior Notification - We are hoping to change an A1 class use to an A3 class use building. We hope to run a cafe from the building, offering tea, coffee, cake, toasties, soups and salads with a community feel throughout, allowing for an affordable space for people in Beccles to meet. The development itself is minimal, and listed below: To turn the store room currently at the back of the building into a kitchen area where the above food will be prepared. This will involve adding hygienic wall cladding and flooring, and including two sinks, an oven, fridge and freezer, induction hobs and a sandwich toaster. Add water pipes for the safe and most economic install and use of a coffee machine. Changing the access point to the bathroom, adding a door into a stud partition wall.

As published by the council, reference DC/20/1139/PN3
