Application for 12 Month Street Trading Site - Mr Muller The Head of Environmental Development has submitted a report which seeks determination of an application proposing a new street trading location.
The Sub Committee is requested to determine the application received and decide whether to grant a Street Trading Consent, taking into account the details in this report and any representations made at this Sub Committee meeting. Additional documents: Minutes: The Head of Environmental Development submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) which sought determination of an application which proposed a new street trading location.
Samantha Howell (Environmental Development) introduced the report.
Erik Muller, the applicant, attended the meeting.
Councillor Royce raised concerns on the siting and size of the proposed location and considered it to be unsuitable.
Samantha Howell in response to further comments and questions by the Sub-Committee said that the products offered were of a good quality and of a standard expected in Oxford.
At this point the Sub-Committee withdrew to deliberate and make its decision in private, accompanied by its Legal Advisor and Committee Clerk.
The Sub-Committee then returned and having taken into account all of the evidence before it, both written and oral, Councillor Coulter announced that the new Street Trading location outside of 221 Banbury Road, Oxford had been granted.
Members of the Sub-Committee felt the application met the criteria in the Street Trading Policy and in the absence of any representations against, it should be granted. The Sub-Committee noted that the concerns raised by the Highway Authority appeared to have been addressed but advised the Applicant that if highway problems occurred as a result of his operation his consent could be revoked.
The Sub-Committee resolved:
(1) To grant the application as applied for, subject to the Oxford City Council general conditions applicable to street trading consents. |
