91 Update following the refusal of planning application 12/4146C, Land off Dunnocksfold Road, Alsager
To consider the above report.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above report.
RESOLVED
That the Council contends the appeal on the following basis:-
The proposal would involve the removal of an “important” hedgerow as defined in the Hedgerow Regulations 1997. Policy NR3 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review, states that proposals for development that would result in the loss or damage to important hedgerows will only be allowed if there are overriding reasons for allowing the development. For the reasons stated in reason for refusal 1, in this case there are not considered to be any overriding reasons for allowing the development and the proposal is therefore contrary to Policy NR3 of the adopted Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review.
