APP/16/00823: Ashton Court, BANKS ROAD, WEST KIRBY CH48 0RJ - Demolition of existing buildings and erection of 14 No. new-build residential properties. PDF 365 KB
Minutes:
Having previously declared a prejudicial
interest in respect of this application, Councillor Foulkes was not
present during consideration of this item.
The Managing Director for Delivery submitted
the above application for consideration
There had been two qualifying petitions
submitted on the matter and the Chair agreed for a representative
for each petition to address the Committee.
The Applicant addressed the Committee.
A Ward Councillor addressed the Committee.
On a motion by Councillor Elderton and
seconded by Councillor Boult it
was:
Resolved (12:0)
That the application be refused on the
following grounds:
(1)
Notwithstanding the principle of residential
development within the Primarily Residential Area, the development
proposed, and notably Plots 7 & 8 by reason of scale, siting,
design and the relationship with neighbouring properties,would result
in an unneighbourly form of development that would appear
overbearing and result in a loss of privacy for occupants of
neighbouring properties, particularly 3 and 4 Ashton Drive. The
development is therefore contrary to Policy HS4 (New Housing
Development) of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan and the
principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
(2)
The proposed development, by reason of the siting and
layout of Plot 14 at the south east end of the site, and having
regards to the restricted and enclosed nature of this part of the
site, together with its relationship with the adjacent sub-station,
would result in a cramped form of development that also fails to
provide a well surveilled environment
that would be to the detriment of the safety and amenities of the
occupiers of this property. The development is therefore contrary
to Policy HS4 (New Housing Development) of the Wirral Unitary
Development Plan and the principles for good design required by the
National Planning Policy Framework.

APP/16/01089: LAND ADJACENT TO 3 DALE GARDENS, HESWALL, CH60 6TQ - New build dwelling with access from Oldfield Road PDF 232 KB
Minutes:
The Managing Director for Delivery submitted
the above application for consideration
On a motion by Councillor Elderton and
seconded by Councillor Kelly it was:
Resolved (13:0)
That the application be refused on the
following grounds:
(1)
The proposed development, having regard to its siting,
form and design, and its location within the Dee Coast Area of
Special Landscape Value, would result in a form of development that
would give rise to demonstrable harm to the character and
appearance of the area which would be contrary to Policy LA1 (
Protection of areas of Special Landscape Value) of the Wirral
Unitary Development Plan and the principles of the National
Planning Policy Framework; and
(2)
The proposed development on land designated as Urban
Greenspace would prejudice the visual amenities, landscape
character and nature conservation value of the site. Alternative
provision of equivalent benefit has not been brought forward to
compensate for the loss of this designated Urban Greenspace.
Therefore, the development is contrary to Policy GR1 (The
Protection of Urban Greenspace) of the Wirral Unitary Development
Plan and the principles of the National Planning Policy
Framework.
