Plans approved for office conversion and restaurant extension in the face of residents' opposition
A furious resident has made an impassioned plea for councillors on Salford’s planning committee to ‘think about the community that you serve’. Steve Lyon was objecting to the conversion of a small ground-floor apartment into an office and a second, related application for an extension to an adjoining restaurant and external extraction flue in one of the city’s prime residential areas.
And he alluded to parking problems all around Worsley Road, including Stott Road, which he said was also used as rat run to avoid traffic by other road users. “There are 17 objectors to this particular proposal,” he told councillors on Salford’s planning and transportation regulatory panel. “Does that not tell you that we don’t want it and we don’t need it?
Councillors had decided to settle on the two related applications as one matter which was criticised by Coun Garrido, who said he would write to planning officers to object over how it was handled. He argued that, had they been treated as separate applications, the objectors and Coun Garrido would have twice the amount of time to make their case to the panel.
“We all know what food smells can be emitted from a such a flue, regardless of the filter. What’s it going to be like sitting out in the summer for that resident?” he argued.
