To consider the above planning application
Minutes:
Councillor J Batho (Chairman, Newhall Parish Council), Mr A Murphy and Mr S Graham (Objectors), Mr R Blackburn (Supporter) and Mr T McAteer (Applicant’s Agent) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered the report and a written update regarding the above planning application.
Prior to the debate commencing:
i) Councillor Bailey declared a personal interest on the grounds that she was a Burleydam Trustee; and
ii) The meeting was adjourned for five minutes for a short comfort break.
RESOLVED:
That contrary to the Planning Officer’s recommendation to approve, the application be REFUSED for the following reason –
In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, there is insufficient public benefit arising from the scheme to outweigh the harm in terms of new residential development in the open countryside. The proposal is therefore contrary to the provisions of Policy NE.2 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and the advice given in the National Planning Policy Framework in respect of enabling development.
