A Petitioner addressed the Committee
The Applicant addressed the Committee
A Ward Councillor addressed the Committee
On a motion by Councillor Hayes and seconded by
Councillor Kelly it was:
Resolved (11:2) That
the application be refused on the following grounds:
Having regard to the
scale and siting of the proposed
development and the close proximity of the proposed new building to
adjacent residential properties, (in particular Nos 42, 44, 46 and 48 Marshlands Road) the
development proposed would result in an unneighbourly and unacceptable form of development
in that it would lead to overshadowing of adjoining dwellings
together with noise and general disturbance associated with the
activities related to the proposed use of the land which would be
detrimental to the amenities which the occupiers of these
properties could reasonably expect to enjoy. The proposal id
allowed would be contrary to Policy SH6 of the adopted Wirral
Unitary Development Plan
|
The Local Planning
Authority considers the proposal to be unsatisfactory in that
inadequate provision has been made within the site to cater for
servicing needs likely to be generated by the proposal and
inadequate provision has been made within the site for off-street
parking needs likely to be generated by the proposed development
which would be detrimental to the amenities which the occupiers of
nearby residential properties could reasonably expect to enjoy. The
development proposed would be contrary to Policy SH6 of the adopted
Wirral Unitary Development Plan and supplementary Planning Document
