Following
enquiries I made earlier this week I have been contacted by Henry
Jones, planning case officer for the stable block planning application at High
Hesleden/Monk Hesleden.
He
has advised that, following consultation with principle planning officers, he
finds the application unacceptable and is minded to recommend refusal if or
when it’s submitted to the planning committee. He suggests that he has issues
with visibility splays and the siting and visual impact of the proposal – which
is pretty much the basis of my initial objection, along with those of residents in High Hesleden.
Finally,
it has also been reported that a shelter has been erected on the site and this
will be passed to the planning enforcement team for their attention.
