4. The development permitted by this planning permission shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) (14 October 2016 / 236301-01 / ARUP) and the following mitigation measures detailed within the FRA:

 

1. Limiting the surface water run-off generated for all rainfall events up to and including the 1 in 100 year event (plus climate change allowance) so that it will not exceed the run-off from the undeveloped site and not increase the risk of flooding off-site, subject to a minimum discharge of 5l/s.

 

5. No development shall commence until full details of a scheme for a surface water sustainable drainage system to serve the site, and method of implementation including arrangements to secure funding and maintenance for the lifetime of the development through an appropriate legally binding agreement have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with Lead Local Flood Authority.

APP/17/00107 26 CLAREMOUNT ROAD, LISCARD, CH45 6UB Request for material change of use to include C1 use for the annexe : bed & breakfast accommodation. pdf icon PDF 327 KB

Minutes:

The Managing Director for Delivery submitted the above application for consideration.

 

A Ward Councillor addressed the Committee.

 

On a motion by Councillor Lewis and seconded by Councillor Elderton it was:

 

Resolved (12:1) That the application be refused on the following grounds:

 

1. The change of use to bed & breakfast would be likely to result in an intensification of the use of the site with associated increased intermittent noise and disturbance at close quarters for the occupiers of neighbouring and nearby dwellings, contrary to the amenity objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.  The use also has the potential to accommodate up to 4 transient guests at any one time, with the resultant coming and going of patrons, including the potential for activity at anti-social hours, especially during the summer months where noise may also arise from use of the front patio/garden area by patrons.  The intervening boundary fence will provide only limited sound attenuation.  The intensity and impacts of the proposed use would be materially different from a single dwelling and as such, the use is considered to be contrary to Policy HS15 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan.
