Parish Council response: 14/05/00007/STH and 14/05/00008/STH - Change of use and conversion of garages to kitchen, erection of single storey extension and external staircase to first floor fire escape door, installation of first floor rooflights and replacement of window with door, all to North elevation, removal of windows in South and East elevations, replacement of window with door in South elevation, replacement of window and door with door in West elevation and internal alterations - The King William Inn - following discussion it was agreed that the Clerk should reply as follows:- The Council would object to any lessening of parking provision as there is already a frequent problem with cars parking in King William Road. It was felt there should be no seating at the front of the pub to allow a bit more parking on site. Concern was expressed regarding the 1^st floor roof lights in the listed building and Council wondered at their purpose as there was no mention of loft space being used for any stated purpose. Are the roof lights compatible with listed building status? It was agreed that the current stipulation regarding keeping the doors of the skittle alley closed should continue as this was imposed to protect against noise problems.
