The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, 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 reasons:
1. The proposal would, due to the increase in heavy goods vehicle movements and noise and dust nuisance associated with the manufacturing process, have a prejudicial impact on the residential amenity of the occupiers of Holly House, properties on Station Road and the future occupiers of the proposed affordable housing on land off Station Road, Wrenbury contrary Policy BE.1 (Amenity) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
2. The proposal would, due to the increase in heavy goods vehicle movements and sub-standard access arrangements, prejudice the safe movement of traffic on surrounding roads without providing a safe arrangement for vehicular access and egress contrary to Policy BE.1 (Amenity) and Policy BE.3 (Access and Parking) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011.
3. It is considered that the proposal would not represent sustainable development as defined by the National Planning Policy Framework due to the adverse impact on the delivery of the approved affordable housing on land off Station Road, Wrenbury (LPA Reference: 11/1165N) contrary to paragraphs 7 and 8 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Note: In accordance with Part 4, Paragraph 31.4 of the Council’s Constitution, Councillor D Marren requested that it be recorded in the Minutes that he abstained from voting on this item.
