Proposal

Installation of 2 non-removable planters on the pavement adjacent to the cafe frontage. 1. Design and Appearance The proposed planters will measure 0.50m ? 1.2m ? 0.75m and will be constructed from natural wood. They will be finished in a dark grey colour to complement the existing streetscape and our restaurant frontage. The planters will be filled with high-quality, seasonal evergreen shrubs and flowers to enhance the visual amenity of the area, soften the urban environment, and support local biodiversity. 2. Layout and Pedestrian Access The planters will be positioned directly against the boundary of our premises at 1.2 m from the building line, ensuring that a continuous, unobstructed pedestrian thoroughfare of at least 2.0m is maintained. This ensures full compliance with local access guidelines and ensures the footway remains entirely accessible for prams, wheelchair users, and pedestrians. 3. Permanence and Safety These planters are designed to be "non-removable" in order to act as robust demarcation for our outdoor seating area, protecting seated patrons from passing vehicular traffic and preventing unauthorised street trading. They will be securely fixed to the pavement to ensure they cannot be moved or toppled. We hold current and valid Public Liability Insurance to cover the external area. 4. Maintenance and Upkeep The planters will be strictly managed and maintained by L?ETO. We commit to regular watering, pruning, and litter clearance within the planters to ensure they remain tidy and attractive at all times. If necessary, the planters can be unbolted and relocated by a professional contractor to allow for essential highway maintenance or utility works.
