Dear Sir,
Planning Application 16/00769
Extension to Manège
Glenview, Top Road, Crosby
Applicant - Sowerby
The Commissioners considered the above at their meeting on Wednesday last. The Commissioners have no objection to the proposed extension. However, they do oppose the additional lighting for the following reasons:
- The addition of 4 new columns appears excessive when the light spread of the existing two almost cover the proposed extension completely.
- No justification for the quantity of additional lighting desired has been provided.
- The lights as proposed would create a nuisance to road users, bats and wildlife generally. This could be mitigated by restrictions to hours of operation, reduction in numbers and appropriate shading or directional lights: LED units are suggested.
The Commissioners trust this is helpful. Please contact the undersigned if you require further information.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Maule
Clerk to the Commissioners
