APP/20/01435: Mill House, BLAKELEY ROAD, RABY MERE, CH63 0LZ - Alterations to existing boundary fencing and entrance gates. pdf icon PDF 1016 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Director of Regeneration and Place submitted the above application for consideration.

 

A Ward Councillor addressed the Committee.

 

It was moved by Councillor M Jordan and seconded by Councillor A Gardner that the application be refused for the following reason:

 

Having regard to the sites location at the edge of the urban area and taking into account that the site is visible from the surrounding open countryside, having regards to the visual impact of the proposals, it is considered that the proposed railings do not form appropriate boundary treatment in terms of the visual amenities of the area and the character of the surrounding landscape.  The proposals therefore do not comply with Policy LA7 (Criteria for Development at the Urban Fringe) of the adopted Wirral Unitary Development Plan.

 

The motion was put and lost (4:6). 

 

It was further moved by the Chair and seconded by Councillor P Stuart that the application be approved with the following conditions.

 

Resolved (6:4) – That the application be approved with the following conditions:

 

1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission.

 

2. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved plans received by the local planning authority on (26 October, 2020 and 16 December, 2020) and listed as follows: (drawing refs: 'Proposed Main Entrance Gates' and 'Proposed Rear Entrance Gate and Fencing', dated: 16 December, 2020; and 'Proposed Site Plan', dated: 26 October, 2020)

 

3. The existing 2.4m high close boarded timber fence shall be removed and replaced by the approved 1.8m wall mounted railings no later than 1 month from the date the application was granted. 

 

4. Development shall not commence until full details of the boundary treatment have been submitted for written approval by the local planning authority prior to the commencement of works. These shall include cross sectional drawings illustrating the thickness of the railings at 1:1 or 1:2, cross section drawings of the boundary treatment (wall and railings) scale 1:20 and elevational section details at 1:20 scale (or similar) of the wall itself. The development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details.

 

5. No works or development shall take place until a scheme for the protection of the retained trees - The Tree protection plan (section 5.5, BS 5837:2012, Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction - Recommendations) has been agreed in writing with the LPA.  This scheme shall include:

 

a). the details of each retained tree as required at section. 4.4 of BS5837 in a separate schedule;

b). a plan or relevant drawings, including proposed site layout plans, to a scale and level of accuracy appropriate to the proposal that shows constraints posed by existing trees (section 5.2 BS 5837), the position, crown spread and Root Protection Area (section 4.6 of BS5837) of every retained tree on site and on neighbouring or nearby ground to the site in relation to the approved plans and particulars.
