Mrs Hilton.

Internal alterations.

The Working Party applauded the new owner who appeared to want to restore the farmhouse, but given the appropriate alterations the building had undergone over recent years, the Working Party recommended that an independent building recording or heritage statement should be under taken to provide evidence for any further decisions about the house and to ensure that any alterations were appropriate.

Woodshutts Farm, Second Avenue, Kidsgrove.

Two storey extension and internal alterations.

No objections.

12/00794/FUL & 13/00039/LBC

Lime View, Main Road, Betley.

Erection of ground floor extension and internal alterations.

The Working Party had no objections to the principle of an extension, however, it recommends that the window details of the proposed extension should match the original house or the proposal should contrast and be more lightweight like the adjacent property.
