APP/14/00237: 7 ALEXANDRA ROAD, BIRKENHEAD, CH43 4XX - Change of use from 6 bedroom property to an 8 bedroom supported accommodation/House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) PDF 297 KB
Minutes:
The Strategic Director for Regeneration and
Environment submitted the above application for consideration.
A Ward Councillor addressed the Committee.
Concerns were raised by Members following
their site visit with regards to inadequate sizes of bedrooms and
their belief that this would not conform with
housing legislation. The Head of
Regeneration and Planning assured Members he would liaise with
colleagues in Housing and report back to Members with an update on
why this had not been identified.
On a motion by Councillor Realey and seconded
by Councillor Kelly it was:
Resolved (13:0)
That the application be refused on the
following grounds:
The development as
proposed would create an over-intensive use of the property by
creating 8 bedrooms, two of which (Bedrooms 5 & 8 specifically)
would result in a standard of accommodation that the Council
considers would be substandard. As
such, the proposals conflict with the principles of the National
Planning Policy Framework, which seeks to secure high quality
accommodation and a good standard of amenity for all future
occupants of land and buildings.

A Councillor addressed the Committee.
On a motion by Councillor Realey and seconded
by Councillor Walsh it was:
Resolved (10:3)
That the application be refused on the
following grounds:
The proposed
development, by reason of its siting,
is considered would result in an unacceptable loss of amenity for
the occupiers of residential development at Priory Wharf by virtue
of increased noise, general disturbance and poor
outlook. The proposed development, if
approved, would be contrary to Policy EM6 of the adopted Wirral
Unitary Development Plan

APP/14/00583: Barn at Manor Farm, FRANKBY ROAD, FRANKBY, CH48 1PE - Change of use of barn from storage to one holiday let accommodation and external alterations. PDF 257 KB
Minutes:
The Strategic Director for Regeneration and
Environment submitted the above application for consideration.
A Petitioner addressed the Committee
The Applicant addressed the Committee
It was moved by Councillor Realey and seconded
by Councillor Daniel
‘ That the
application be approved.’
The motion was put and lost (6:7)
It was then moved by Councillor Kelly and
seconded by Councillor Elderton that the application be
refused.
The motion was put and carried (7:6)
Resolved (7:6)
That the application be refused on the
following grounds:
The Local Planning
Authority considers the proposal unacceptable, in that it would
lead to an intensification of an existing means of access, and that
any vehicles waiting on the highway at the access with Frankby Road or manoeuvring in the lane to enter
and/or leave the site of the proposed use would create hazardous
conditions contrary to the interests of highway safety. The provision of one parking space is not
considered sufficient to prevent parking in the adjacent lane,
thereby requiring vehicles to reverse on to Frankby Road given the lack of a suitable turning
area in the lane, which would be detrimental to highway
safety. The proposal is therefore
contrary to Policies TL9 and TL10 of the Wirral Unitary Development
Plan.
