To consider the above planning application.

Minutes:

Note: Councillor J Halstead (on behalf of Cranage Parish Council) and Mr C Parks (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 reasons:

 

1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development would result in a cramped overdevelopment of the site and is of poor design, contrary to policies GR1 (General Criteria) and GR2 (Design) of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (2005).

 

2. In failing to provide affordable housing, the proposal is contrary to Policy H13 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (2005).
