To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor D Brickhill (Ward Councillor) and Mr R Lindop-Lamens (applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, an oral report of the site inspection and an oral update by the Southern Area Manager – Development Management.
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 design, scale, mass and position would result in an overdevelopment of the site and would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene and have an overbearing impact and cause loss of light to the occupants of 25 Main Road which would be harmful to the residential amenities of this property. As a result the proposed development would be contrary to Policies BE.1 (Amenity), BE.2 (Design Standards) and RES.11 (Improvements and Alterations to Existing Dwellings) of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan 2011 and advice advocated within the National Planning Policy Framework.
