On a motion for refusal moved by Councillor P Hackett and seconded by Councillor D Realey it was:

 

Resolved- (13:0) That the following application be refused on the following grounds:

 

Having regards to the number of bedrooms proposed, the property is considered to be of insufficient size to accommodate the proposed development. The development would result in an over-intensive

use of the property by creating 5 bedrooms for which, given the potential number of occupants, the proposed kitchen/dining/ lounge facilities is considered to be inadequate, resulting in a standard of accommodation that the Council considers would be substandard contrary to the objectives of Policy HS14 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan and 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.
