Minutes:

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

 

It was moved by Councillor Clements and seconded by Councillor Watt

 

‘ That the application be refused on the following grounds:

The proposal would result in a form of development having a cramped and overdeveloped appearance and the siting of two additional dwellings on this plot would introduce a pattern of development that would lead to a detrimental change in the character of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to the guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy HS4 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan.’
