Dog grooming studio approved

0

PLANNING chiefs have given the green light to a plan for a dog grooming studio in the garden of a semi-detached house at Culcheth.
Members of the borough council’s planning committee visited the site of the application in Prestwich Avenue, Culcheth – and then decided there was nothing wrong with the application.
Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council had lodged an objection to the scheme.
But there was no objection from neighbours and officers recommended the scheme be approved.
The committee was told there was currently no outbuilding in the garden, but planning consent had been given for one last year and the current application added the business use.
Members of the parish council pointed out they indicated last year that they would oppose any business use in the building.
They argued that a dog grooming business would be an inappropriate use, affecting the amenity of neighbours because of the noise of barking dogs. Parking provision was inadequate in a narrow, residential road with no pavement and only a small turning head.
But the committee decided there was plenty of room for parking and that a small-scale business could be accommodated without causing undue harm to highway safety or residential amenity.
