Planning application
White Hart Hotel 18 High Street Saxmundham Suffolk IP17 1DD
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Variation of Condition Nos. 4, 5 and 6 of DC/18/3713/FUL - Alterations and Change of Use - Conditions 4, 5, and 6 be replaced with a single, flexible condition that permits Commercial, Business and Service (Class E) use across the property. This will allow the front to be used for retail, the rear for a taproom/food space - please note, currently no food will be prepared on site, but we would like the flexibility of doing so in future - and the upper floor for offices or associated business use, with the flexibility to adapt these spaces as the business grows.
