An application to build a house which officers said would be too close to a neighbour’s study were approved by Sefton’s planning committee on Wednesday night without a single question being asked.
The application, for a two and half storey house in a plot behind an existing house in College Avenue, Formby, was up at the planning committee for a second time after previously being deferred amid confusion over the location of a window in the neighbour’s study.
Objections had been lodged by people living in the vicinity of the plot and a former councillor David Irving. One neighbour ,claimed at the earlier committee that officers had failed to consider the outlook from a study that had been built some years ago above their garage.
