PDF 854 KBTo consider the above application.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor B Silvester, the Ward Councillor and Mr Nick Smith, 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:-
1. The proposal is located within the Open Countryside and Green Gap and would result in erosion of the physical gaps between built up areas, and given that there are other alternatives sites, which could be used to meet the Council’s housing land supply requirements, the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policies NE2 and NE.4 of the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich Replacement Local Plan, the National Planning Policy Framework and the emerging Development Strategy.
In the event of any changes being needed to the wording of the Committee’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions/informatives/planning obligations or reasons for approval/refusal) prior to the decision being issued, the Head of Development Management and Building Control has delegated authority to do so in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board, provided that the changes do not exceed the substantive nature of the Committee’s decision.
Should this application be the subject of an appeal, authority be delegated to the Development Management and Building Control Manager in consultation with the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Board to enter into a planning agreement in accordance with the S106 Town and Country Planning Act to secure the Heads of Terms for a S106 Agreement.
That the Board’s concern about the sustainability of the site be noted as it only met a small number of criteria under the North West Sustainability checklist.
