To consider the above planning application.

Minutes:

Note: Councillor D Brown (Ward Councillor), Councillor J Saville Crowther (on behalf of Congleton Town Council) and Mr S Muirhead (objector) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.

 

The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.

 

RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

The proposed development by reason of its height and prominent location on the edge of the Green Belt would result in a visually incongruous addition which would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies E19: Telecommunications and GR2: Design of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005.
