APPLICATION NUMBER: PA/341390/18 (Removal and Variation of Conditions)

APPLICANT: Anwar & Company Ltd

PROPOSAL:  Removal of Condition 5 restriction of opening hours from PA/023286/88

LOCATION:  Texaco Hollinwood Service Station, 257 Manchester Road, Oldham, OL8 4RH

It was MOVED by Councillor Bashforth and SECONDED by Councillor Price           that the application be REFUSED (against Officer recommendations).

On being put to the vote 9 VOTES were cast IN FAVOUR OF REFUSAL and 0 VOTES were cast AGAINST, with 1 ABSTENTION.

DECISION: That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

The nature of additional late night noise, activity and disturbance caused by the extended opening hours at the petrol filling station would be detrimental to the residential amenity of the occupiers of the nearby residential properties on Moorfield Road and Chelbourne Drive. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy 9 of Oldham's LDF Joint DPD which seeks to protect the amenity of existing residents.

NOTES:

1.            A Ward Councillor and the Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this application.
