Minutes:
Note: Councillor D Brickhill (Ward Councillor), Councillor J Densem (Parish Representative), Mr H Stebbing (objector/neighbour) and Mr R McGinnes (applicant’s representative) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on the matter.
The Committee considered a report in respect of planning application 10/2222N (Petersfield Way).
Members had inspected the site on Friday 27 August and noted the comments from the Parish Council and residents in the Update Report prepared since the agenda had been distributed. Members noted the size of the existing dwelling and the proximity of the proposed extension to the neighbouring dwelling. The Committee considered that the increase in bulk and mass so close to the site boundary and the adjacent dwelling was unacceptable and would result in a loss of light to the neighbouring dwelling.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED contrary to officer recommendation for the following reason:
The Local Planning Authority considers that due to the size of the proposed extension and the area of the application property’s existing curtilage, the proposed extension would constitute an overdevelopment of the site. Also, due to the bulk, mass and siting of the proposed extension it would have an overbearing effect on no. 15 Pastures Drive and result in a loss of light to the study and dining room of this neighbouring property. The proposal is contrary to policies BE.1 Amenity, BE.2 Design Standards and RES.11 Improvements and Alterations to Existing Dwellings of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
