The outbuilding was installed without permission more than a year ago
A garden playroom that neighbours claim is being used as a party venue for adults can stay put, councillors have decided. Preston City Council’s planning committee heard that the outbuilding had been installed – without permission – at a house on Glenview Close in Ribbleton more than a year ago.
“It’s used for entertainment purposes…there is a built-in bar, a built-in fridge – and it’s like a drinking session all the time. a karaoke machine in the garden. “If permission is granted with no conditions, the applicant will have been given carte blanche to carry on with this night-time revelry,” he said.
However, planning officer Laura Holden said how the occupant operates the facility “is up to them” – and that the application should be judged as if the building “isn’t there”. She added that the planning matters to be considered for new outbuildings related to their size and location – not any noise that may emanate from them – which was why the council’s own environmental health department had not been asked for its opinion.
In a statement issued to the Local Democracy Reporting Service after the meeting, a Preston City Council spokesperson said: “Our environmental health team received a request for service relating to this address earlier this year from neighbouring residents living in the area.
