APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 94806/HHA/18 - 33 GADDUM ROAD, BOWDON

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for part retrospective consent for the erection of front and side boundary wall/pillars, with metal railings above, alongside the erection of new access gates and other ancillary landscaping works.

 

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

 

              The development proposed would, as a consequence of its extensive length, height, materials and finish proposed would be visually dominant, reduce the visual permeability of the area and would be out of character with its surroundings.  This would be detrimental to the street scene and the character of the surrounding area.  As such the proposals would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and Policies within the NPPF.

 

              Authorisation of Enforcement Action

              The Head of Planning and Development in consultation with the Director of Legal and Democratic Services is authorised to take any necessary and appropriate enforcement action under the Planning Acts.
