Having previously declared a pecuniary interest Councillor Foulkes left the meeting during consideration of this application

 

The Strategic Director for Regeneration and Environment submitted the above application for consideration.

 

A Petitioner addressed the meeting

 

On a motion by Councillor Kelly and seconded by Councillor Hayes it was;

 

Resolved (7:4:1) That the application be refused on the following grounds:

 

1. The development proposed would be unsatisfactory having regards to the close proximity of the residential properties adjoining the site (particularly 8 Holm Lane and Woodbine Cottage, Holmside Lane) with the likely result of unreasonable noise, nuisance and disturbance to the prejudice of the amenities of the occupants of those properties. To allow the proposed development would be contrary to Policies HS12 and HS15 of Wirral’s Unitary Development Plan and the approved SPD note 12, Pre-School Child Day Care Facilities.

 

2. The development would be unsatisfactory and undesirable having regard to its scale and massing which would be out of scale with neighbouring development. In particular, the proposed form and rectangular bulk would result in an unacceptable visual impact which would relate poorly to the residential properties and domestic scale of the area and would have a detrimental impact with this setting. The proposal is of an inappropriate scale and would result in a detrimental change in the character and appearance of the surrounding area. To allow the proposals would be contrary to Policy HS15 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan.
