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 fails to achieve an adequate quality of design to justify approval of planning permission. The proposal represents an intrusive form of development that would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area and the streetscene. The proposal is thereby contrary to policies GR1 and GR2 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review (2005).
