Developer wins appeal to build new apartment block in Tesco CAR PARK despite fury from residents
A controversial block of flats is set to be built at a south Manchester Tesco car park as the developer behind the plans won an appeal, overturning the town hall's decision. The plans for 75 apartments off Parrs Wood Lane in East Didsbury were rejected by Manchester council after hundreds of objections.
In a report explaining her decision, the inspector recognised that allowing the appeal would disappoint those who 'spoke passionately' against the plans and said that local residents' voices were 'fully heard' and 'carefully considered'. However, she concluded that the proposal complied with planning policies.
This is partly because bus stops, trams and railway stations are located within walking distance of the development which reduces the need for residents of the new flats to drive. The developer has also said that typical occupants of build-to-rent schemes such as this are younger and less likely to have a car.
"In coming to my decision, the evidence of local residents and others was fully heard and carefully considered. However, the development would accord with the development plan and in decision taking, this means approval of such proposals.raised, I conclude that the appeal should be allowed." "We also met Dandara and their representatives on numerous occasions before the planning application was submitted but in the main our suggestions were ignored. The one thing that Dandara did do at our request was to run extensive consultations but then ignored the outcome when 85 pc of respondents opposed their plans.
