The application 13/0774 was refused by Committee on 16/01/14

This application has been submitted by a firm from Cheshire who try to claim that proximity to the low-rise Service station, which is screened by trees, mitigates the visual impact of this massive structure in the Petteril valley. The people of Hesket Parish do not agree and Hesket Parish Council objected to the proposal at a meeting on November 12th 2013. The Planning Office have received 105 further objections to date. It is due to go to Committee on Jan 16th 2014.
