Dozens of objections have been lodged to plans to turn a former religious retreat in suburban Preston into bedsits. The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) understands at least 58 people have registered their opposition to the proposed redevelopment of the Xaverian Mission Spirituality Centre on Sharoe Green Lane in Fulwood.
Dozens of objections have been lodged to plans to turn a former religious retreat in suburban Preston into bedsits. The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands at least 58 people have registered their opposition to the proposed redevelopment of the Xaverian Mission Spirituality Centre on Sharoe Green Lane in Fulwood.
As the LDRS has previously revealed, the Shire Bank Farm site was vacated in July by the Roman Catholic Xaverian Missionary priests who had occupied it since 1998. A consultation response already submitted by Lancashire County Council – in its capacity as the highways authority – reveals that it has no road-related concerns over the plans.
“The site is not suitable at all – and will have a severe impact on highways and parking, which are already serious issues for Sharoe Green. Furthermore, I am not convinced that the plans offer sufficient amenities for over 30 residents and their guests. I urge planning officers to take seriously residents’ objections and consider the viability of such a large HMO in this area,” Cllr Dwyer added.
“Regard has been paid in the building’s design to orientation and the impact from overlooking to existing nearby occupiers,” it adds.
