Controversial revamp gets the all-clear from planning councillors
Controversial alterations to a restaurant in a posh conservation area which almost made a councillor fall off his bike in awe have been given a retrospective green light by planners following a tide of local support. The unauthorised glazed dining area with an imposing steel framework resulted in 67 letters to planners in support of the Cibo Italian restaurant in Hale village.
He continued: “Your officer report tells us that it doesn’t consider our village centre to be suffering. As residents who use and engage with local business owners, we would like to think we are well-placed to know that it is. He went on: “Cibo has made a significant contribution to the area. I think it’s within the remit of this committee to support the large amount of people who really enjoy it. If we are going to refuse it we are going to have to give a clear idea of how this restaurant doesn’t contribute to the conservation area.”
The report also rubbished claims from the restaurant owner that it may have to close if the retrospective permission was refused.
