PLANNING chiefs have refused permission for a garden store with office space above it in the grounds of a house in Cherry Lane, Lymm.
Members of the borough’s development control committee visited the site, near the junction with Old Smithy Lane, before reaching a decision.
They heard 11 neighbours had written letters of objection on a variety of grounds, including fears that the building could later be converted into a separate dwelling.
But they also believed the site was already overdeveloped and that an additional building would result in a loss of privacy and daylight for an adjoining house.
Another issue was the impact on the main house – a Listed building.
Officers recommended the scheme be approved and said there would be no perceivable impact on neighbours, the character of the street scene nor on parking provision.
But the committee voted to refuse consent.
