To consider the above application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor J Wray (Ward Councillor) and Mr R Stockell (applicant) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application and an oral report of the site inspection.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The proposed extension by reason of its size when considered cumulatively with previous additions to the property, would lead to a loss of identity of the original dwelling and be tantamount to a new dwelling in the Open Countryside. As such, the proposed development would be contrary to the Policies; PS8 (Open Countryside), GR2 (Design) and H16 (Extensions to Dwellings in the Green Belt and Green Belt) of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005. It is also considered that the proposal would be contrary to advice within the NPPF.
