PDF 2 MB Minutes: Resolved: That the following observations be made on the applications listed below:- Lymelight Boulevard and Cinema, High Street Newcastle 25/00784/ADV CAWP had some concerns over the cumulative impact of the digital screens and moving images competing with the existing screen on the High Street and the maintenance and safety of the screens. 1 Albert Terrace, Wolstanton 24/00871/FUL The Working Party has no objections to the proposal. Land off School Lane, Ashley 25/00820/OUT The Working Party feels that the proposal is out of context with the rest of the village with the houses proposed at strange angles to the farmhouse and barn. This creates some harm to the setting of the farmstead given its rural and agricultural environment. Despite the indicative layout there is not enough information, especially from a topographical context, to fully understand the impact on the setting of the historic farm complex. The Old Wood, Betley Hall Gardens, Betley 25/00906/FUL No objections to the proposal Blakeys Offices, Paradise Street, Newcastle 25/00856/ADV The Working Party feels that the screen will have a negative impact on this edge of the Conservation Area and that it will distracting to highway safety.
