Need for housing highlighted by council planning officers
Fourteen one-bedroom apartments could be developed at the Glen Tops works at Newchurch Road, Stacksteads. But the plan has prompted some concerns about loss of privacy with balconies and tree clearance.
A report to the planning committee recommends approval, subject to various conditions, including a contribution of £34,000 by the developer to public open space or playing pitches, and £5,000 to compensate for the impact on the greenbelt. These would be included in a planning system arrangement called a section 106 agreement, it is suggested..
The plan includes a full landscaping and boundary treatment plan, showing new shrubs and turf on the site and a natural Scout Moor stone flag walkway. "By reviewing the latest plans, we have realised that the balcony of apartment 5 of the extension building will also overlook the same en-suite bathroom. This is due to the new part of the building not being in-line with the existing building. We have only just noticed this issue due to the removal of trees by the developers on the site last year which originally obscured the view but which, in removing the trees, now further exposes our home to being overlooked.
