A PLAN to demolish two domestic garages to make way for a two-storey house extension is to go before Warrington planners with a recommendation for refusal.
Officers say the proposed extension at a house in Dale Lane, Appleton, would harm the character and appearance of the area because of its excessive width.
But Appleton Parish Council says the scheme should be approved and have asked councillors to visit the site before reaching a decision.
The detached house stands at the junction of Dale Lane with Heyes Lane.
An earlier scheme was thrown out by planners last year and the new proposal has been reduced in width from 6m to 5m.
But officers say this width is still excessive and result in the loss of an important open gap to the side of the house which provides a visual break between the property and the road.
The impact is made worse because of its prominent corner position.
