Land at Holly Tree Farm, Aston 25/00939/OUT The Working Party had no objections to the principle of a dwelling within the plot and the position of the access. The setting of the adjacent listed building is modest and forms part of the former estate village. It will be essential to design the dwelling to reflect the general form of the adjacent cottages within the village, so that it does not jar with the general character. A modest approach is needed with a pitched roof and appropriate materials. Trees should be retained. Clayton Hall Academy, Clayton 25/00903/FUL The Working Party had no objections to the proposal.
