THE OLD POLICE STATION:
OUR STATEMENT
One of the most controversial Wavertree planning applications of the past 40 years was discussed by the City Council's Planning Committee on 8th January. This was Application 18F/2605, to convert the former Cuff's Bar at 63-69 High Street to a 17-bed House in Multiple Occupation: 'serviced accommodation' for recovered or recovering drug/alcohol addicts and ex-prisoners. Over 500 objections were submitted by local residents and business owners, worried about the impact of the proposal on the wider area.
Our Chairman read out a statement, asking for the decision to be deferred until the advice of the Police, Probation Service and relevant professionals had been obtained. The Planning Committee decided - by 3 votes to 2, with 1 abstention - to grant permission, but only for 12 months (so as to allow the impact of the scheme to be assessed). The application will then have to be re-submitted. Also, the new UPVC windows (to which we had previously objected, as mentioned in our Newsletter 223) must be replaced by a more appropriate design within the next three months.
