Local people are being asked to make their views known on a planning application for a massage studio in British Road in Bedminster.

An application has been entered for the property at 1A British Road, and residents of neighbouring properties have until 5 January 2011 to comment on the proposal.

The application (reference 10/04720/F) is for a change of use from a single dwelling to a massage studio along with associated external alterations, such as signage.

People living outside the area are also able to comment. The application is due to be determined on 25 January 2011.

You can view the planning application and comment on it online at the council’s planning portal here, or make your views known to local councillors Mark Bradshaw and Colin Smith.

Cllr Bradshaw, who is urging residents to comment on the application, said: “'We've been contacted by people worried by the prospect of a massage parlour in a residential area with many families and we share these concerns.”

You can email Mark at mark.bradshaw@bristol.gov.uk and Colin at colin.smith@bristol.gov.uk

Alternatively, you can contact the planning officer in the case, Andrew Cross, by emailing andy.cross@bristol.gov.uk

    UPDATE REFUSED AGAIN please keep eye on new plan or appeal
    NOTICE OF DECISION
    Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended)

    Full Planning
    Site address:
    1A British Road, Bristol, BS3 3BS.
    Description of development:
    Change of use from single dwelling (Use Class C3) to a massage studio with associated external alterations.

    Application No: 11/00906/F
    Page 2 of 3
    DECISION: REFUSED
    The following reason(s) for refusal are associated with this decision:
    Reason(s)
    1. The application does not include any justification of the loss of the existing residential
    unit. This is such that the proposal is contrary to Policy H1 of the Adopted Bristol
    Local Plan (1997), and policy BCS5 of the emerging Bristol Development Framework,
    Core Strategy, with Potential Minor and Significant Changes (December 2010).
    2. The sensitive location of the application property amongst dwellings within a
    residential area is such that the proposed opening hours (10.00am until 11.00pm
    Sunday to Thursday and bank holidays, and 10.00 am until 01.00am on Friday and
    Saturday) would cause harm to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers
    through the generation of noise and disturbance associated with vehicle movements
    and general comings and goings linked with the proposed use of the premises late
    into the evening and into the early hours of the morning. As such the proposal would
    be contrary to policies ME4 and B1 of the Adopted Bristol Local Plan (1997).
    Advice(s)
    1. Refused Applications Deposited Plans/Documents
    The plans that were formally considered as part of the above application are as
    follows:-
    TH102010/01 - Location plan, received 18 March 2011;
    TH102010/02 - Existing floor plans, received 18 March 2011;
    TH102010/03 - Existing elevations, received 18 March 2011;

    You have the right to appeal against this decision. Any such appeal should be made on a

    Page 3 of 3
    You are allowed six months from the date of this notice of decision in which to lodge an appeal.
    Negotiations
    Before making an appeal, you may wish to contact the case officer who dealt with your application, who may be able to advise you, how the council’s objections to your proposal might be overcome if you amend your scheme. Please note that if negotiations are successful, you will need to submit a new planning application, which may, of course, be refused by committee.
    Lodging an appeal will not prejudice your negotiations but you may need to agree with the council to postpone the appeal, to allow negotiations to take place.
    Complaints
    Only planning matters can be considered at an appeal. If you think that the council did not properly consider your application, you can make a comment under the council’s “Fair Comment” procedures, details can be found on the councils website http://tinyurl.com/672oh77 or by calling 0117 9223000.
