To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor M Jones left the meeting prior to consideration of this application.
Note: Mr M Cox (objector) and Mr J Ashall (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.
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 affordable housing requirements within the area could be accommodated for by alternative Brownfield sites in the locality which would negate the need to use land within the open countryside. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy H14 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (2005).
