“Consultation Responses: County Highways – Do not object but have concerns over the size of the proposed garage which were made on original planning application and have not been addressed. Where garages are not of a suitable size they should not be classed as providing a parking space and consequently the proposed development would not meet parking requirements set out in Local Plam Policy HE3.”

“Greater Manchester Ecology Unit – No objection subject to condition to secure reasonable avoidance measures previously agreed under condition 27 of FUL/2022/0149. Condition 26 of the same permission is no longer required. They advise that the applicant could be asked to provide a BNG metric but this was not provided for the original application as this was not a requirement at the time.”

“With regards to the above points, this application is only able to consider the suitability of the drainage system. Any impact on existing infrastructure at the site cannot be considered as the Council does not hold records and ultimately is not strictly a planning consideration.
