PLANNING chiefs at Warrington are to make a second attempt
to reach a decision on controversial proposals for a four-storey office
building.
Members of the borough council’s development control committee have inspected
the site, adjacent to Stanford House, Garrett Field, Birchwood, since earlier
deferring a decision.
The development would include underground car parking, additional surface car
parking and associated landscaping.
Planning officers are recommending the scheme be approved, but a number of issues
have been raised in connection with the project.
One nearby resident says it would result in increased traffic, loss of
landscaping and that there are already many vacant offices in the area.
Birchwood Town Council is worried about the possibility of increased on-street
parking in the area.
The scheme provides 141 car parking spaces.
