Plans to convert agricultural buildings into three houses in Buglawton have been refused by Cheshire East Council.

Applicant, Mr Heath, who is the owner, submitted a change of use application to convert existing agricultural buildings into dwellings at Canalside Farm, Harvey Road, in Buglawton, Congleton.

However, 57 objections were submitted against the development, which would have consisted of one larger dwelling house and two smaller dwelling houses.

Reasons for objection included impact on social infrastructure, use of bridleway as access, large amount of development within the area already and proximity to Canal Conservation Area.

Cheshire East refused the application today (Friday) and case officer Calum Mountfield said in the officer's report: "No detailed supporting information about the proposed building operations required to convert the building was submitted with the application.

"The former barn building in particular is a lightweight structure which would not lend itself to residential development without significant alterations.

"The proposed development is not considered to be a conversion in the first instance and as such would not be permitted development.

"It is therefore not appropriate to determine whether prior approval would be required, and the development would require a full planning application."
