Planning Application 2019/0366/FUL – Question from Councillor Marsh-Pritchard

To ask the Council Leader, in relation to the Planning Application 2019/0366/FUL Demolition of existing structures and erection of a foodstore (Use Class E(a)) and trade counter unit (Use Class B8) | Pennylands House, High Street, Skelmersdale which was considered by Planning committee on 16 February 2023:

1. To confirm that conditions 9 and 10 approved by Planning Committee have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the council
2. If the conditions 9 and 10 have not yet been fulfilled what further steps the Council will contemplate to preserve the amenity of local residents during the construction phase of the development given that construction is already underway"

Response

Officers are aware of a number of concerns raised by local residents and we have written to developer's planning representatives to remind them of their responsibilities.  In response, they have apologised for any disruption caused.  We now have applications to address condition 9 relating to Traffic Management and condition 10, which relates to Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP).  If unacceptable disruption continues pending the outcome of these applications, it is open to the Council to take formal action against the developers.  Such measures could include a Breach of Condition Notice or a Temporary Stop Notice.  In the meantime, officers will continue to monitor the site to ensure that conditions remain complied with at all times.
