No objection

Erection of single storey transport workshop with associated parking area
Land at Power Station Road
Although the Parish Council has no objection to this planning application, Members consider
it important that acoustic fencing should be provided between the development and
2
Bridgewater Road and Lockside View. Also, a condition should be included in any
permission requiring that no lighting be provided which would have a negative effect and
impose on the residents of Bridgewater Road and Lockside View.

Installation of a battery-based electricity storage facility [with a maximum charge and
discharge rate of 49.9MW] together with transformer, parking area, CCTV, landscaping,
security fencing and associated equipment [Amended Plans]

36 Yew Tree Road
The Parish Council object to this planning application as Members cannot be confident that
an appropriate dwelling would be provided in this very prominent location without harmful
effect. An outline application without illustrative drawings does not enable the Parish
Council to comment in any meaningful way
CH/17/270
Side extension above existing garage and single storey rear extension
13 The Shrubbery
Although the Parish Council has no objection to this proposal, it considers that as the site is
in a residential area, a condition should be imposed requiring that no construction work take
place on Sundays, Bank and Public Holidays, night times and Saturday afternoons. Also a
condition should be included requiring that materials match those existing
CH/17/237
Demolition of existing public house and associated buildings and the erection of a
