Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor R Fletcher, the Ward Councillor, Town Councillor Mrs S Jones, representing Alsager Town Council, Hon.Alderman Derek Bould, President of Alsager Residents Action Group, Amanda Davies, an objector and Sally Cunliffe, the agent for the applicant attended the meeting and spokein 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 Rd. 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).
(The meeting adjourned for a short break at 4.25pm and reconvened at 4.40pm).
(Councillor C Thorley left the meeting and did not return).
