UPTON BY CHESTER & DISTRICT PARISH COUNCIL

Meeting of the Planning Committee of the Upton by Chester & District Parish Council held on Tuesday 23rd September 2008 at The Pavilion, Wealstone Lane, Upton, Chester.

Present:          Cllr David Evans (Chairman), Cllr David Captick, Cllr Jean Evans, Cllr Gerald Grant, and Cllr Mil Williams.

 

1.        APOLOGIES:

Apologies were received from Cllr Gill Jordan, Cllr Pat Lott, Cllr Paul Lowry 

and Cllr Robert Thompson.

 

2.         DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST:

Cllr David Evans and Cllr Jean Evans declared an interest in item c on the agenda.

 

3.         TO CONSIDER PLANNING APPLICATIONS:

 

a.         143 Long lane – Construction of 13no car parking spaces and access road at Spar Shop

 

            Members welcome the provision of off street parking but are not convinced that the plan is the best possible layout due to the loss of too much grassed area.  They feel that an arrangement which allowed cars to pass through onto adjoining land at the front on the store on the A41 would be prefereable.  They also feel that the pavement at the front of the store could be reduced back to the line of the bollards to reduce the loss of grassed area.

 

            Members feel there should be a condition that loading and unloading of goods vehicles should only be done in the goods yard and not at the front of the building which is currently the case.

 

b.         8 Meadowsway – Single storey and two storey extensions to side and rear of dwelling.

 

            No objection

 

c.         1 St Christophers Close – Raise level of existing roof and loft conversion.

 

            No objection
