BOROUGH planning chiefs have cleared the way for a “pavement café” outside a shop in Lodge Drive, Culcheth.
Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council and borough councillor Chris Vobe opposed an application by Greenhalgh’s Craft Bakery to provide an outdoor seating area outside a former clothing shop on The Parade – and pointed out that the parish plan indicated there were enough restaurants and fast food outlets in the village already.
They were also concerned about litter, parking and the lack of indoor space to store tables and chairs used outdoors.
But officers told the borough’s planning committee only about 35 per cent of food sold at the shop would be hot, with the great majority for consumption off the premises.
The land in front of the shop was private property, not adopted public highway.
However, a pavement café licence would have to be applied for.
