To consider the above planning application.

Minutes:

Note: Dr M Cox (objector) and Mr J Ashall (agent on behalf of the applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.

 

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, an oral report of the site inspection and an oral update by the Southern Area Manager - Development Management.

 

RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

The Local Planning Authority considers that the affordable housing requirements within the area could be accommodated by alternative Brownfield sites in the locality which would negate the need to use land within the open countryside. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy H14 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (2005).
