Cannock Chase Council gained 20 objections to the proposals for a a few-bedroom detached dwelling on land on the corner of Flaxley Street and Davy Place in Rugeley.

Objectors reported that Davy Put was currently congested and the removing of the garage block would make current parking difficulties on the Pear Tree Estate even worse.

The garage website is privately owned and Cannock Chase Council’s preparing officers suggested the application for acceptance.

John Heminsley, who spoke in support of the strategies, stated: “It is a brownfield web-site proper for enhancement of one particular detached dwelling. The household would be of a higher typical and strengthen the road scene when compared with the garages.

“Since the estate was built in the 1950s lots of people have made off avenue parking spaces. Need for off avenue garages has declined in latest several years.

“The applicant is not obliged to have on supplying lock up garages and the council itself has redeveloped lock up garage websites to give supplemental housing.”

But planning committee associates went against the suggestion and voted to refuse permission at a assembly on Wednesday. They had been concerned the new property would have an overbearing impact on a neighbouring property.

Hagley ward councillor Christine Martin, who spoke versus the software at Wednesday’s meeting, mentioned: “This progress will choose away a minimum amount of six parking areas neighbours presently use. I just can’t see how this is not harmful to the spot.

“Emergency motor vehicles will have great issues heading into Davy Place, as will bin lorries. They presently have troubles acquiring in.

“The occupants of (the neighbouring Flaxley Street house) have lived there for around 40 many years and there are photo voltaic panels on their roof. This proposed growth is only two metres away. I’m asking you to feel about these men and women and the result it will have on them if they have lived in the exact house for over 40 yrs and then they have this monstrosity outside the house their door every time they open it.”

Committee member Councillor Andrea Muckley elevated worries about the influence of the new residence on the solar panels of the neighbouring residence.

Councillor Alan Dudson, who represents the location on Staffordshire County Council, stated: “It’s already a congested area but county highways don’t appear to be to understand. I believe it is overbuilding and I shall be voting versus it.”
