To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Mr A Murphy attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter on behalf of Wrenbury-cum-Frith Parish Council and Aston and Wrenbury Consortium.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and a written update.
The Southern Area Manager – Development Management reported that the reference to the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 in the Pollution section of the Officer Appraisal in the report should read: ‘the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010’ and that a permit had been issued under these regulations.
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 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.
