RECENT PLANNING APPLICATION FOR
'YE OLDE FORGE'
PLANNING APPLICATION has been made for 'Ye Olde
Forge', Thingwall Road, Irby, Wirral, CH61 3UE, (formerly the Bathroom place and
prior to that a Pine furniture shop!). The application is for "change of use to licensed café-bar,
alterations to elevations, construction of mezzanine floor level with three roof lights to rear and formation of outdoor dining
area". The plans can be viewed here
and enter the planning application number which is 20047155. Do you have any
views? Will this be an aesthetically pleasing feature encouraging new trade in
the village and preventing another derelict shop! or do you feel we have enough
licensed premises in the locality. Please contact
us with your thoughts and views over this application. Comments have to be
in with the Planning Officer by 21st October 2004.
UPDATE: ITPAS have sent a letter of objection in respect of this application. We are also aware of a considerable number of nearby residents and local businesses objected. A Council meeting is to be held on 11th November2004. You can view a copy of our letter of objection here.
This planning application has been refused, much to the delight of some local residents. We hope ITPAS played a crucial part in this decision and we shall continue to monitor future applications for these premises.
LATEST: Despite the WBC objection, the applicant appealed. ITPAS made representations at the appeal, but sadly, due to the fact we were not consulted as to the appeal, we did not submit our lengthy report in time. Nonetheless, the appeal was rejected and we continue to monitor the site for future applications. Hopefully, it will be taken over sooner rather than later as a viable business site.
