High lights and key decisions from ‘Planning’ meeting held on 9^th October 2007.

 

An extra ordinary Planning Committee Meeting was held at Wallasey Town Hall on 9^th October 2007 in the Civic Hall and debated two controversial applications – The Warrens PCT site and the ‘Neptune’ proposal at New Brighton. See details below.

 

20076505 - THE WARRENS NURSERIES, THINGWALL
 

This outline application for the construction of a One Stop Medical Centre on the Green Belt Warren’s site was recommended for approval by officers., Councillor David Elderton was outraged at the proposal and moved refusal - on the grounds that the applicant had totally failed to demonstrate ‘very special circumstances’ necessary to justify building on the green belt. The move to refuse received overwhelming all party support (with only two dissenters) and the application was refused.
 

20076181 - PHASE II REGENERATION SCHEME, NEW BRIGHTON
 

This outline application was recommended for approval. Following presentation of petitions and comprehensive debate the officer’s recommendation to approve received overwhelming cross party support (subject to one dissenter). The recommendation to approve was endorsed subject to conditions.
 

Above information is correct at time of going to press – but is subject to confirmation.
