The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application 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 reason:
The proposed development would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the Wildlife Corridor that is not outweighed by other matters of overriding interest namely housing land supply. The development is therefore contrary to Policies GR1 and NR4 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005. The proposal would not represent sustainable development as it would not conserve or enhance the natural environment and would be contrary to paragraph 109 of the NPPF.
