12/00209/FUL

Barn south of 12 Station Road, Madeley.

Mr J Willard.

Conversion of existing barn to 3 dwellings including parking and private gardens.

The Working Party supported the principle of the conversion but objected to the bin storage fences to units 1 and 2 in front of the barn and the addition of the porches which disrupted the simplicity of the barn.  Bin storage should be located in front of the wall by the trees and car parking removed from in front of the buildings if possible.  The roof appears cluttered and the number of roof lights should be reduced, especially the number of double roof lights.

 

 

 

13/00092/FUL & 13/00093/LBC

South Lodge, Old Springs Hall, Old Springs, Market Drayton.

Mr R Lee.

Reinstatement of existing lodge to main hall.

The Working Party supported the restoration of the cartilage listed building and wanted to ensure proper conservation practises were applied.

 

 

 

13/00153/FUL & 13/00128/ADV

Former Cannons & Choices Units, Barracks Road, Newcastle.

Mr J Wright.  Xercise4Less.

Five externally illuminated fascia signs and 1 non-illuminated sign and change of use from A1 to D2.

The Working Party were happy with the logo ‘4’ but not with the sign which incorporated price as part of the signage which they felt had an adverse impact on the amenity of the area given the proximity to the Conservation Area.

13/00141/FUL

Park Manor, Butterton.

Mr M Popat.

Demolition of existing outbuilding and erection of single storey utility and swimming pool.

The Working Party considered that a more elegant roof from on the swimming pool and junction with existing dwelling would be appropriate due to the potential impact on views from the Conservation Area.  The roof is very large and more glazing might help to break up the heaviness of the mass.

 

 

 

13/00163/FUL & 13/00164/LBC

6 Balterley Court, Nantwich Road, Balterley.

Mr J Nicholls.

Alteration to ground floor window to courtyard.

No objections.
