House extension plan turned down

PLANNING chiefs at Warrington have rejected proposals to build a part two, part single storey extension to a house at Culcheth.
The scheme, which would have involved demolishing an existing garage and conservatory, would have seen extensive alterations to the house in Warrington Road.
The site is bordered by the rear gardens of homes along Kay Lane to the east and a sheltered housing development on Poplar Avenue to the west
Planning officers recommended the scheme be approved, but Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council opposed the scheme and there were also objections from three residents.
The objectors claimed the development would result in neighbouring houses being overlooked causing a loss of privacy and overshadowing.
Members of the borough council’s development management committee turned down the proposals.
