The Director of Environment and Transport submitted the above application with a recommendation for approval. A site visit took place on Friday 17 January 2020.

A motion was put to the Committee to refuse the application. This motion was agreed. Resolved, That application 2019/34804 be refused on the grounds of; 1. The application, by means of its scale and siting in proximity to the window of the neighbouring property, no. 124 Park Road, would have an overbearing and dominant impact to the detriment of residential amenity. As such the application is contrary to the provisions of policy QE6: Environment and Amenity Protection contained within the Core Strategy (2014). 2. The single storey side extension presents a blank elevation to the street scene and, as such, it is out of keeping with the host dwelling and introduces an incongruous feature contrary to policy QE7: Ensuring a High Quality Place contained within the Core Strategy (2014). DM88 2019/35118 - WALTON LEA NURSERY, CHESTER ROAD, WARRINGTON, WA4 6TB Full Planning - Erection of Greenhouse, modular buildings and sheds (retrospective) and the Change of use of existing buildings to use as a tea room and retail space ancillary to existing educational use of the site The Director of Environment and Transport submitted the above application with a recommendation for approval.

DM89 2019/35896 – 6, GRANTHAM AVENUE, WALTON, WARRINGTON, WA4 6PF - Full Planning - Proposed construction of new dwelling with a new vehicular access and the alteration to fenestration of existing dwelling The Director of Environment and Transport submitted the above application with a recommendation for approval. A site visit took place on Friday 17 January 2020. Representations were heard in support of and against the application. Members noted the update report. Resolved, That application 2019/35896 be refused on the grounds of; (1) The proposal, by means of height, massing and siting, is out of keeping with the established character of the area and would appear incongruous. It would have a significant adverse impact of the visual amenity of the street scene and is therefore contrary to policy QE7: Ensuring a High Quality Place contained within the Core Strategy (2014). (2) The subdivision of the plot would lead to the erection of an enclosure in close proximity to the ground floor windows on the side elevation of no. 6 Grantham Avenue, which would detrimentally impact on the amenity of future occupiers. As such the application is contrary to the provisions of policy QE6: Environment and Amenity Protection contained within the Core Strategy (2014). (3) The proposed vehicular access to the dwelling would lead to the loss of a lime tree positioned within the highway that provides significant value, as part of a larger grouping, to the street scene. In absence of the opportunities for suitable mitigation, the proposal is contrary to policy QE7: Ensuring a High Quality Place contained within the Core Strategy (2014). 5 Agenda Item 3 DM90 2019/36022 – 84, BRIDGE LANE, APPLETON, WARRINGTON, WA4 3AJ - Householder - Proposed construction of a 2 story rear extension comprising of a new kitchen to the ground floor and 2 additional bedrooms to the first floor.
