REFUSED

Description of application - Conversion of commercial building to provide one 5 bedroom dwelling.

Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Russell Mellor, in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

The contents of a letter from the agent dated 30 May 2013 was reported.  Councillor Simon Fawthrop stated that the value of a property was determined by how much a purchaser was prepared to pay.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED, for the following reason:- 

1.  In the absence of evidence to demonstrate full and proper marketing of the site the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of commercial premises, thereby contrary to EMP5 of the Unitary Development Plan.
