“PROPOSAL: Variation of condition 2 of planning permission 2019/0192/FUL relating to approved plans.”

“To advise the Planning Committee on an application which proposes to vary condition 2, attached to planning permission 2019/0192/FUL, so as to allow a variation in the siting and design of 3 no. self-catering holiday chalets together with associated parking.”

“The site comprises the Slipway Public House (PH) and the beer garden to the rear with an associated car park on the north side of Crabtree Lane. The Leeds Liverpool Canal with its footpath adjoins the eastern side of the site.”

“The Slipway Public House itself consists of 2 two storey buildings linked by a small central courtyard. Within the curtilage of the Slipway Public House is an extensive beer garden to the south of the main PH buildings with a car park to the north, on the opposite side of Crabtree Lane.”

“At the time of the visit two of the holiday chalets had been installed and the area where the third one is to be sited, is currently utilised as a children's play area, attached to the existing beer garden of the public house.”

“2019/0192/FUL – To erect 3 no. self-catering holiday chalets together with associated parking on land adjoining The Slipway PH. Permission granted 25/06/2019.”

“Environmental Protection (17/10/2024) – State that they have no objection to the application.”

“Nine objections have been received, which are summarised as follows;”

“The cabins that have been erected on site are larger than those that were previously granted planning permission and the materials are different than those previously approved, • The cabins shouldn't have been occupied before all the relevant conditions were discharged and the landscaping works completed, • The drainage system that has been installed does not accord with the scheme previously proposed in 2019, • The quiet and homely atmosphere of the area that will be put…”

“A. That planning application 2024/0786/FUL be approved, subject to consultation with Canal and River Trust and their agreement with the drainage scheme.”

“C. That a further condition be added to the application in regard to lighting as follows: 'The use of exterior lighting shall be restricted to between the hours of 08:00 and 23:00 only'.”
