Considering I only started this blog a week ago, the fact that pages on it have been viewed a staggering 182 times I find slightly amazing.

Ordered by popularity here are the top four posts of the last week (along with the number of comments)

On the last one, what’s also pleasing is that three people have clicked through from this blog to the Wirral’s Future: Be a Part of It questionnaire. Next week will probably be quieter as it’s the half-term holiday. I’ll be writing up my recollection of last night’s Planning Committee meeting later today.

Planning Committee – decision tonight on application about land adjacent to 290 Upton Road, Noctorum

                                          

A decision will be made tonight at Wirral Council’s Planning Committee about the new house on Upton Road.

I notice although the recommendation to approve it hasn’t changed, an extra condition 8 has been added (compared to the previous report was on this planning application). This extra condition is:-

"Prior to the occupation of the dwelling hereby approved,the south-facing landing window and east facing bathroom window shall be obscurely glazed and non-opening above 1.7 metres in height and shall be retained as such thereafter."

Hopefully this should satisfy the two who objectors (although I got the feeling talking to them they were against the principle of a house being built there at all). Even if it was turned down tonight as the previous application was approved (and is valid) it would still probably be built. This plan just asks for a further bedroom and bathroom.

Separation distances and privacy are important things to be considered; the former has been on the mind of the Planning Committee ever since in a case nearby to Upton Road someone was awarded compensation because a plan was approved without due regard given to them. I look forward to tonight’s meeting.
