APP/04/06904 – Erection of single storey side extension 3.2 This application sought a single storey side extension to the existing dwelling to create a ground floor bedroom with en-suite. It was approved on 23rd September 2004. Page | 7 P20-2052/R001v3 Mr Francis Larton Hey Farm, Frankby Stiles Planning Statement 4. THE PROPOSAL 4.1 This application seeks full planning permission for demolition of the existing dwelling and outbuildings and erection of a replacement dwelling with detached garage and new access road. 4.2 The existing site layout is shown in Figure 6, and the proposed site layout in Figure 7. Figure 7 – Existing site layout Figure 8 – Proposed site layout Page | 8 P20-2052/R001v3 Mr Francis Larton Hey Farm, Frankby Stiles Planning Statement 4.3 The dwelling will be reorientated compared to the existing to give a south-facing living space. It is proposed to demolish the existing outbuildings immediately to the east and west of the existing house and erect a detached double garage to the west of the new house, equivalent in size to the demolished outbuildings. The replacement dwelling will be served by a new private drive taken off Frankby Stiles, with a turning area and parking created between the new dwelling and garage. 4.4 Figures 9 to 12 show the elevations of the existing dwelling.

Figure 19 – Larger outbuilding to be demolished Figure 20 – Smaller outbuilding to be demolished Page | 14 P20-2052/R001v3 Mr Francis Larton Hey Farm, Frankby Stiles Planning Statement 4.9 Under Class A of the General Permitted Development Order (2015), the existing dwelling could be extended to the rear by up to 8 metres at ground floor level, and by up to 3 metres at first floor level. Therefore, the potential floorspace of the existing dwelling that is achievable without applying for planning permission is 265.5m2. 4.10 Policy GB4 allows a 15% increase in size for replacement dwellings. Therefore, this replacement dwelling is permitted to be up to 305.25m2. Table 1 shows the footprint of the existing dwelling, plus what could be added utilising Permitted Development Rights and the size increase allowed under policy GB4. Table 1 – Footprint of existing dwelling Footprint of original house 140.6m2 Current existing footprint 242m2 Potential gross GEA (including PD) 265.5m2 Potential GEA + 15% policy allowance 305.25m2 4.11 The total footprint and volume of the proposed dwelling is shown in Table 2. Table 2 – Footprint of proposed dwelling Proposed footprint (GEA) 240m2 Percentage change from existing -0.83% Percentage change from existing + PD and 15% -21.38% policy allowance 4.12 The proposed building footprint is therefore 65.25m2 smaller than what would be permitted under Policy GB4 if the property was extended using PD rights. 4.13 Figures 21 to 24 show the proposed elevations of the replacement dwelling.

  • The Sites of Ancient Villages in Wirral
    54 THE SITES OF ANCIENT VILLAGES IN WIRRAL. By Eric H. Ridcout, B.Sc. Read March 2bth, 1925. ISTORY has sometimes been defined as the written H record of the life of Man upon the earth. Chroniclers who consciously took notes for posterity share honours as historians with diarists and letter-writers whose spontan­ eous and naif remarks were never meant to be public property, and all these are often less valuable indications of the life of Man in any given period than that expression of emotion and ideals which is called literature. Legend has become ancillary to history, and the shadowy truth concerning ages that lie back on the borderlines of prehistoric days has received illumination even from stones, pieces of metal, carved wood, and pictured papyrus. Until recent years this study of written records was concerned chiefly with the lives of the great and powerful men of any epoch, and it is only with the rise of modern democracy that there has come a desire that history should tell the story of ordinary men and describe their customary thoughts and deeds. As this demand for knowledge of the life of essentially unlettered men increases, a stimulus is given to the study of the evidence that was never written down, and the earth itself begins to be perused as a docu­ ment that will help to reconstruct for us the picture of past ages. There can be few problems so fascinating as the attempt to discover what led a group of people in some far distant time to choose out of a whole area one special site for their abode.
