From Mr and Mrs A. Armstrong of Barrow Cars in respect of the Change of Use from tea room and bakery with takeaway facility to private hire taxi office (retrospective) at 80 Cavendish Street, Barrow-in-Furness as shown on plan number 2009/1801.

Representations received and the results of consultations were reported.

The applicant attended the meeting and make representations to the Committee.

RESOLVED:- That (A) The application be refused for the following reason:- The taxi office is located towards the end of this section of Cavendish Street adjacent to the pedestrianised part of Dalton Road. The approach to the taxi office (junction of Cavendish Street and Dalkeith Street) suffers from high levels of congestion in the late evening/early morning periods. It is the concern of the Council supported by Cumbria Constabulary and the Highway Authority that the proposed location will result in taxis using the pedestrianised section of Dalton Road to the unacceptable detriment of public safety as it offers a convenient route avoiding the congested area; and

616 – 39 Cedar Road, Barrow-in-Furness

The Committee had undertaken a site visit prior to the meeting.

The applicant attended the meeting and made representations to the Committee.

RESOLVED:- That planning permission be refused for the following reason:-

The proposed two storey rear extension results in a separation distance between facing windows of habitable rooms of approximately 19.5 metres. This is contrary to established Council policy requiring a minimum distance of 21 metres, and would result in the loss of, or perceived loss of privacy for the occupier(s) of both the application site and the facing properties to the rear. The proposal is contrary to saved policies B14 and B15 of the former Barrow- in-Furness Borough Council Local Plan Review 1996-2006, Housing Chapter Alteration 2006.

617 – Kwik-fit, Abbey Road, Barrow-in-Furness

Consideration of this application had been deferred at the last meeting since the Committee were minded to refuse (Minute No. 572 refers).

RESOLVED:- That planning permission be refused for the follow reasons:-

1. The extension by extending sideways towards Westbourne Crescent would, due to its height, scale, extent of projection and alien design in the context of a residential street, unduly detract from the visual amenities of the street scene. Approval of the proposal would be contrary to saved policy D21 of the former Barrow Borough Local Plan Review 1996-2006; and

2. The proposed development would generate additional noise to the unacceptable detriment of the residential amenities of the area.
