Meeting: 07/03/2012 - Southern Planning Committee (Item 160)
PDF 606 KBTo consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Mr J Taylor (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 update by the Principal Planning Officer.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
1. Insufficient information has been submitted with the application relating to the existing Pelican crossing, the proposed Puffin crossings, a revised position for the bus-stop and the management of deliveries to the store, in order to assess adequately the impact of the proposed development having regard to highway safety. In the absence of this information, it has not been possible to demonstrate that the proposal would comply with Development Plan policies and other material considerations.
2. The proposed form and design of the development would be unsympathetic to the surrounding character of the area and would therefore be contrary to Congleton Local Plan Policies GR1 and GR2.
