Flats plan to go to committee
A HOUSING developer has submitted an amended planning application for flats on Fluin Lane, Frodsham.
Morris Homes submitted an application to turn a property on 79 Fluin Lane into flats.
Following discussions with Vale Royal Borough planners and highways officers the application was modified and will go before a planning committee at a later date.
The developer insisted that despite fears raised by residents, the conversion was in tune with architecture and sympathetic to the area's character.
A spokesperson for the company said: 'Morris Homes has not withdrawn its plans for Fluin Lane. Instead it has been meeting with the council's planning and highway officers in order to incorporate various amendments as a result of their comments. These amended plans have now been submitted as part of the current application.
'The building itself will sit in mature landscaped grounds and maintain an appropriate space between itself and neighbouring properties.'
He added: 'Morris intends to enhance the surrounding gardens with additional planting as well as retaining the boundary trees and shrubs.'
