Planning committee
Decided by Warrington Development Management Committee on 6 Nov 2025. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because two homes would return the building to residential use and outweigh the loss of a little-used community facility.
- No neighbours or ward councillors objected, while consultees raised no objections subject to flood, cycle-storage and acoustic-insulation matters.
- The committee approved the application with conditions, following the officer recommendation.
