Dear all
This is a new one!
A club/shop has applied for planning permission to change its use to a lap dancing club on West Street, St Philips. This is not a licence application; presumably that will come after the work has been completed, unless the license has been granted already. Does anyone know what the status of objections will be to a planning application from those who don't live in the area?
The details are below and a link has been supplied to the planning application website. This automatically brings up a form with the details of the planning application filled in. All you need to do is say why you object.
This club
is opening up next to an existing lap dancing club and a sex shop and has five - yes,
five! - massage parlours within a 100 yard radius, so I was told
tonight by the partner of someone who unluckily bought a flat years ago
above a shop that has now been turned into a massage parlour. A great
selling point for a tenant, I'm sure! The area is rapidly declining
and it doesn't sound like a very safe place for women to go at all.
Any objections to this application are welcome. Even if you don't live in the area, objections will at least get across the strength of feeling to Bristol City Centre, and objections from non-residents may be taken into account if it's a planning application rather than a license application (I will have to confirm this).
Thanks
Stephanie
The details from my source are below:
The offending application is no. 09/01074/F
Online objections can be made at:
By email to: customerservices. ptsd@bristol. gov.uk
Put "ref: Planning Application - 09/01074/F" in the subject line.
Objections must be on the grounds of harm to amenity. Moral arguments will be ignored.
Danger and risk, noise, traffic, over-concentration of Lap Dancing Clubs etc. may all be valid arguments.
This a second Lap Dancing Club in the street, next door to the first.
