Meeting: 14/09/2011 - Southern Planning Committee (Item 76)
PDF 454 KBTo consider the above planning application
Minutes:
Note: Councillor D Wallis (on behalf of Church Minshull Parish Council), Mr D Carr (objector) and Mr M Ludlam (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 and an oral report of the site inspection.
RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
· The proposal would not create or maintain employment; or involve the diversification of a farm business. It is not required for, and ancillary to, the use of the land for agricultural purposes and is not essential either to the agricultural operation, or to comply with current environmental and welfare legislation, or to the maintenance of the economic viability of the holding. It is therefore contrary to policy NE13 and NE14 of The Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
· The proposal does not lie in or adjacent to an existing farm or commercial complex and therefore it is not satisfactorily sited in relation to existing buildings, in order to minimise its impact on the landscape and it would detract from the visual character of the landscape contrary to policies NE13, NE14 and BE2 of The Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
