The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application. The Southern Area Manager – Development Management also reported that, in the light of the Committee’s decision to refuse application number 12/2551C, the recommendation of officers was now to refuse this application for listed building consent.
RESOLVED – That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:
The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed development by virtue of the demolition of part of the building would have an adverse impact upon the historic character of the Listed Building. As a result the proposed development is contrary to Policies BH4 and BH5 of the Congleton Borough Local Plan First Review 2005 and guidance contained within the NPPF.
