Restoration of former National School demolition of Victoria Hall erection of new community facilities (revised scheme) 39751/02 - St Annes, Parish Church, Chapel Street, Tottington Refused for the following reasons:-

1. The design of the proposed building is neither appropriate to, nor sympathetic with the listed Building and its setting, and it would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area. The proposed development therefore conflicts with policy EN2/3 -Listed Buildings, of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.

2. The development would be seriously detrimental to the residential amenities of nearby occupiers, by reason of close proximity of the new building and the noise and smell disturbance and general activity associated with the proposed use. The proposed development therefore conflicts with policy H3/1 - Assessing Non -Conforming Uses, of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.

3. There is no provision for off street parking at the church. The proposed development will lead to an intensification of uses of the building and consequently increased traffic and congestion contrary to policy CF1/1 - Location of New Community Facilities, of the Bury Unitary Development Plan.

1. The development would be seriously detrimental to the residential amenities currently enjoyed by the occupiers of nearly dwellings because of the overlooking and loss of privacy it would cause and due to the overhearing effect it would have on the affected properties by reason of its height, size and position. The development therefore, conflicts with the following policy of the Bury Unitary Development Plan H2/1 - The Form of New Residential Development.
