PLANNING 20/01517/FUL, Conversion of equestrian building into two dwellings with associated infrastructure and parking at The Stables, Duckington Lane, Tilston, Malpas, SY14 7DU. RESOLVED 20/636 – That Tilston Parish Council strongly objects to this application on the following grounds: The Application is contrary to Strat 9 of the Cheshire West & Chester Local Plan Part 1 as it is in the Open Countryside. The application is contrary to policy DM 22 of the Cheshire West & Chester Local Plan Part 2. The building is not currently redundant or disused. The proposed development would require major reconstruction and is therefore beyond that which is reasonably associated with a conversion. The existing building is of no architectural merit and the proposed development raises the roofline of the building increasing the harmful visual impact of the building. The proposed scheme and associated domestic development and paraphernalia would further erode the open and intrinsic character and beauty of the open countryside in that location and would not result in an enhancement to the immediate setting. 20/01653/FUL, Erection of one worker’s dwelling at Land at Old Hall Farm, Stretton Hall Lane, Stretton.
