Meeting: 04/01/2012 - Southern Planning Committee (Item 127)
PDF 353 KBTo consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor J Hammond (Ward Councillor), Mr S Grunner (objector) and Mr P Carr(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, a written update, an oral update by the Principal Planning Officer 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 reason:
The proposal constitutes new residential development in the Open Countryside contrary to Policy NE.2 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011. Due to the size of the site and the number of dwellings proposed it is not considered to constitute the infilling of a small gap with one or two dwellings in an otherwise built up frontage. Notwithstanding the fact that there is an existing dwelling on the site, it is not considered that there is any justification for the proposal under Policy RES.10 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 as all of the proposed dwellings would be materially larger than the one which they replace and the existing dwelling is not in poor structural condition, and has not been altered in such a way that it is not worthy of retention.
