APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION H/70594 – CRAZY KIDS CLUB (MR.
DOUGLAS GLENDON) – UNIT 1 AND THE EMMA SOMERSET BUILDING, PARK
ROAD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, PARK ROAD, TIMPERLEY
[It was noted at Committee that by reason of the lodging of an Appeal against nondetermination the Committee did not have the power to determine the Application.
However, an indication as to the Committee’s views on the Application was sought.]
The Chief Planning Officer submitted a report concerning an application for planning
permission for the change of use from B8 (Storage) and B1 (Business Offices) to D2

RESOLVED: That the Council is minded to refuse planning permission for the
Planning Development Control Committee
12th March, 2009
___________________________________________________________________________________
following reasons:-
144.
(1)
The applicant has failed to overcome concerns in terms of the safety and
security of users of the site and to satisfactorily address the risk of potential
conflict between pedestrians and vehicular traffic, with particular reference to the
nature of the use of the existing adjacent Industrial units. As such, the
development would be contrary to Proposals D1 and D2 of the Revised Trafford
Unitary Development Plan.
(2)
The development will create a significant demand for car parking provision. The
applicant has failed to demonstrate, with specific reference to weekend usage,
that the provision of car parking within the site is sufficient to meet this significant
demand in a satisfactory manner, with the result that vehicles could be forced to
park on the public highway or in neighbouring residential roads to the detriment
of residential amenity, highway safety and the convenience of other users of the
highway. As such the proposal would be contrary to Proposals D1 and D2 of the
Revised Trafford Unitary Development Plan, and the Council's approved 'Car
Parking Standards'.
