PDF 405 KBTo consider the above planning application
Minutes:
Notes: 1. Councillor D Brown (Ward Member), Mrs S Cooper and Mr A Wood (Objectors) and Mr I Ankers (Applicant’s representative) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
2. Councillor Clowes arrived at the meeting shortly after the Planning Officer had commenced his presentation on this item and therefore took no part in the debate nor voted on the application.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, a written update 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 proposed development by virtue of its density, relationship to adjacent property and the prominence within the street scene is considered to represent an overdevelopment of the site that does not respect the character, appearance and form of the surrounding area. The development is therefore contrary to Congleton Local Plan Policy GR2.
2. The development will have a detrimental impact on the amenity of the occupiers of No. 42 Boundary Lane by virtue of its close proximity leading to a loss of privacy. The development is therefore contrary to Congleton Local Plan Policy GR6 and the adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance.
