Issue - meetings

To consider the above application.

Notes: (1) Having exercised her separate speaking rights as a Ward Councillor, Councillor S Jones withdrew from the meeting during consideration of this item.

(2)  Mr David Currie (objector) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and an oral report of the site inspection.

RESOLVED:

That the application be REFUSED, contrary to the Planning Officer’s recommendation for approval, for the following reason –

The proposed development would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area by virtue of being cramped and appearing to be an over-development of the site.  The scheme would, therefore, be contrary to Policy GR1 of the Congleton Borough Local Plan.
