155/25 – Planning Applications
Β
25/4198/FUL
Demolition of existing garage and change of use of land from a residential garden to a cattery business including the construction of a 40 pen cattery building and new double garage to the rear of the existing dwelling and associated landscaping works.
Brownlow Heath Farm, Childs Lane
The Council resolved to object to this application on the grounds that it represents overdevelopment of a private garden and is too big a commercial enterprise for a residential area. It is not consistent with Policy EC2 in the Newbold Astbury Neighbourhood Plan and the proposed design is not consistent with the Newbold Astbury Design Code as it does not respect the local character of the area and its distinctiveness.
Β
25/4205/PIP
Permission in principle for a single detached house
Heathfields, New Road, Moreton.
The Council resolved to object to this application as it represents inappropriate development in the Greenbelt. It is not replacing or reusing an existing building and does not respond to any identified housing need.
25/4398/HOUS
Single storey extension to the rear of:
9, Brownlow Heath, Brownlow Heath Lane
The Council resolved to raise no objection to this application.
25/2964/FUL
Extension and conversion of barns to create 1 no. residential dwelling
Weld House Farm Barns, Peel Lane,
The Council resolved to object to this application on the same grounds that the Council had objected to the previous application. Despite the revisions to the application, the addition of linking walkways constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt due to their size/volume.
