Meeting: 24/10/2012 - Strategic Planning Board (Item 80)
PDF 556 KBTo consider the above application.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
(The Officer reported to the Board that there was an amendment in that the scheme was to include 9 affordable houses and not 10).
(Alderman Bould, an objector and Roy Spruce, the Agent for the Applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reason:-
The proposed development, by reason of incursion of built form into the open countryside would detract from the generally open character of the west side of Hassall Road. This would be a harmful effect which would fail to take account of the different roles and character of different areas or recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and would be contrary to policy within the NPPF and would be an adverse impact which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits in terms of housing land supply.
(This decision was contrary to the Officers recommendation of approval).
