Proposal

I want to make the roof ridge height one metre higher , so the new building height to the ridge would be six metres instead of five metres which we have planning permission for. This would enable us to utilise more storage space for our horticultural nursery business. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Green belt: Merseyside and Greater Manchester
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.
Read the government guidance ↗
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Local nature reserve about 490 m away: Thurstaston Common; SSSI about 489 m away: Thurstaston Common SSSI; National infrastructure project about 1228 m away: Peak Cluster CCS Pipeline, at pre-application; Tree preservation order about 26 m away: Urban District Council of Hoylake HK0023; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
