If we keep our eye on the link in ladyruskin's post, all the details will appear in due course once the application has been processed (might take a couple of weeks).


From a resident's perspective, although the new owners might be nice people, the change of use to A3 will inevitably open up the possibility of a restaurant with late-night operation in the future if the property is sold on.


One way around addressing this is for residents to request that a planning condition be required for last orders to be set at 10pm with a closing time of 11pm. This will at least restrict the operational hours of what ever ends up there with a view of protecting the amenity of the surrounding neighbourhood. Any future business who wanted to operate beyond those hours would have to reapply for planning permission which in turn would trigger a consultation.

Will this be before the building work now underway is completed?

I don't know the specifics of this site, but they don't need planning permission to build, it's more for change of use to A1/A3. So my guess is that the planning application will run in tandem with the building works but they can't operate as A3 until they have planning permission, which can take up to 2-3 months as there will have to be a consultation period. Will be interesting to see if they're open by Christmas, although they can operate as retail in the first instance without change of use. The way a cafe operates as retail is that the customer has to order and pay at the till rather than having a waitress come to the table, this is exactly how Gail's operates in the Village.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.
