PDF 508 KBTo consider the above planning application
Minutes:
Note: Ms J Osborne (objector) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, a written update 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 proposed development by reason of its size and scale would not respect the character and appearance of the application property. Furthermore the development would have an overbearing impact upon the surrounding residential properties and due to the non-compliance with the separation distances set out in SPG2 it would result in a significant level of overlooking and loss of privacy. Therefore the proposed development would be contrary to Policies GR1 (New Development) and GR2 (Design) of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005 and Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 2 (Provision of Private Open Space in New Residential Developments).
