PDF 430 KBTo consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor Rhoda Bailey, the Ward Councillor declared a personal interest as a member of CPRE. She and Mr John Ward, the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
The Local Planning Authority considers that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is a clearly established existing functional need, and that the functional need could not be fulfilled by another existing dwelling in the area as specified within Annex A of PPS7. As a result, the special justification for allowing a new dwelling in the open countryside has not been met and the proposed development is contrary to the provisions of PPS 7 (Sustainable
Development in Rural Areas) and Policies H18 (Dwellings Associated with Rural
Enterprises), H6 (Residential Development in the Open Countryside and the Green Belt) and PS8 (Open Countryside) of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (01/05).
