conversion of Pavilion garage and workshop to dwelling

Authority: Cheshire West and Chester
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Hickey A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on open space, sports and recreational facilities
whether or not the existing buildings are capable of conversion without significant loss of existing fabric, or major or complete reconstruction
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host buildings and surrounding area including the Chorlton Lane Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan in respect of loss of open space and sports facilities, inadequate evidence of conversion capability, and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
